Miscellany/!RiscTimer/!Help/HelpText
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

CREDITS
�������
This program was written by Gareth Boden, using an Acorn A4000
with !Edit, !StrongEd, !Zap, !Dissi, !FormEd, BASIC V, Jive and
the RISC OS 3 PRMs. (I got them on 27/5/93 � can anyone beat
this?). It is not guaranteed to work on anything else (it needs
RISC OS 3, by the way), but should do.
The WimpExtension module was written by Jon Ribbens.
The HelpView program was written by Graham Jones.
!RiscTimer was written at the request of Mr P Halsall, Christ
the King School for the purpose of justifying the purchase of
an A4!
�����������
THE PROGRAM
�����������
!RiscTimer was written for a simple purpose � to keep track of
how much a computer is used. Basically, it records the time the
computer is switched on and the amount of this time it is
actually being used. It keeps track of the last 28 days' usage
and displays the information in a window. Use both off and on
the desktop is recorded.
The program is simple to use. Simply make sure your hard disc
!Boot file loads !RiscTimer when you switch on, and that you
always use the desktop Exit or Shutdown before switching off. I
would also recommend having some font cache memory (a very
small amount is sufficient, but the windows use fonts and may
be very slow otherwise).
To find out how much the computer has been used, simply click
on the !RiscTimer icon, on the icon bar, with SELECT or ADJUST.
A window will appear giving details of the computer usage.
Click OK to remove it.
The usual icon bar menu is available by clicking MENU over the
icon. The Quit option quits the !RiscTimer application, the
Info option leads to a window giving details about the program.
Note that quitting !RiscTimer does not quit the part of the
program which registers usage so if !RiscTimer is later loaded,
the time used in-between will still be recorded. However, the
usage will not be saved without the !RiscTimer application
program present.
The usage is checked by noting key presses and mouse clicks.
Every time one of these occurs, the program reads the system
clock. If it is more than two minutes since the last key press
or mouse click, the program assumes that the computer has not
been in use over this period (I think this is a reasonable
assumption � if you don't, let me know).
Always make sure you exit the desktop "cleanly" when switching
off or before a Ctrl-Break ie by quitting all applications
using either the menu option Quit or the desktop Exit or
Shutdown facilities. If you don't do this, then Risc Timer
won't know to save its log file and so the computer usage will
not be recorded. As a safety precaution, Risc Timer saves the
log file every ten minutes while in the desktop, but you should
not rely on this. You should always exit "cleanly" anyway, to
avoid accidentally wiping out unsaved work.

�������
HISTORY
�������
A list of the different versions of !RiscTimer (in reverse
chronological order):
1.14 - Program now conforms to July 1993 RISC OS Style
Guide.
- Now uses built in RISC OS 3 icon borders.
1.13 - HeadFirst has changed address!
- Removed HeadFirst information window, address now in
Program info window.
1.12 - First public release.
- Found that log was updated incorrectly if more than
one copy of !RiscTimer was loaded. Now checks for
multiple invocations.
- Removed DIMs on local variables as I found that BASIC
did not de-allocate the space afterwards. This caused
crashing due to memory overflow. Space now allocated
via OS_Module.
1.11 - Messages and menus now internationalised using
MessageTrans. Simply alter the Resources.Messages
file to provide a different language. If you do
produce a new one, please send it to me.
- Jive Talk message file provided. To use this instead
of the normal one, simply rename the Messages file to
something else and rename the MessJive file to
Messages. Voila!
- Jive Talk HeadFirst information file provided. Use is
similar to the message file - just rename the HFText
and JiveHFText files.
- Help now more comprehensive and on menus too.
1.01 - Added help via Acorn's Interactive Help.
1.00 � Original version.

FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
�������������������
I may add the following features in the future, and am more
likely to do if you encourage me by asking...
� Output of graphs of usage
� Recording of usage of different applications
� Output of a text log file
� Restriction of computer usage (?)
� Automatic pencil sharpener (?!)

If you send me a disc of PD (or some cash) I will send you the
latest versions of any software I have written (with a bit of
PD to fill the disc).
������
BYEEE!
������
Well, that about wraps it up. The program was designed for a
simple task and it does it adequately (I don't want to say
"well").
!RiscTimer will install happily on a hard disc (indeed, it is
best used from one), and uses very little memory (~32k), so it
should work on any RISC OS 3 machine.
If you want to print out these instructions, they can be found
in !RiscTimer.!Help.HelpText.
Remember: Life is like a bar of soap - it gradually wears away
until it goes all soft and breaks when you try to use it. Oh
well, maybe life isn't like a bar of soap after all.
