This is a desktop utility that runs under Microsoft(R) Windows(R) and
allows you to set multiple alarms.  Each alarm can be set to go off
every day, every two weeks, Monday and Wednesday of every third week,
every month, once a year, etc.  You can even set a "snooze".  You can
set an alarm to run a specific application instead of just displaying
a message.  This allows you to show a video when your alarm goes off
or to run programs unattended (e.g., late-night backups or print jobs).

This application is shareware.  You can distribute any unregistered
versions of this application to individuals and to bulletin boards, as
long as you distribute all of the files in their original, unregistered,
format.  (In fact, we encourage it because that is the only way that
people find out about our work.)

If you decide that you enjoy the program and wish to continue using it,
you are required to register the application.  Although this application
is fully-functional, there are some additional features that are only
available to registered users.  (Please see the help file topic on
"Setting an Alarm to Repeat".)

Please see Products.TXT for more information on registering this
application and for details on other products that are available
