Voice Clock! is a Microsoft Windows program whose purpose is to announce the
time of day at 1 minute, 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 1 hour intervals, using 
digitized human speech reproduced through a sound card or using Microsoft's 
Speaker Driver for most 286 or 386 computers.  The program will function in 
all Windows modes: real, standard, or enhanced.

There are 26 files in the archive:

       VCLOCK.EXE  -  The executable program.
       ASSORTED.WAV  - Assorted wave Files 0-19,20,30,40,50
       README.TXT  -  This file.

To install the program, simply copy all files into the same directory,
and copy all wav files in to Windows root directory then start the 
program as you would any other windows program (i.e. place
an entry into the Program Manager and double-click it, or select File/Run
from the Program Manager menu and type the full pathname of VCLOCK.EXE
as the command line). 

Voice Clock has two windows (1) LARGE WINDOW- In its large window system
settings can be made. The announcement interval may be set to 1, 15, 30 or 
hour; the starting default is NONE. (2) SMALL WINDOW - When the focus is 
directed  to another program or window the small clock will appear-time will 
still be announced in the background if system settings are set.

When the program is first started, a logo banner will appear for about 10 
seconds.  A Voice asking "Have You Registered?" will be announced on un-
registered versions. The banner will disappear and the clock will appear. At 
this point, Voice Clock is running with default settings.If you want to hear 
an announcement without waiting for a time interval, put the mouse cursor
over the LARGE WINDOW FORM and press the mouse button; Voice Clock! will now 
announce the current time.

This program was originally written as a tool to help me keep up with the time 
while I was programming and working under Windows. After looking at many of 
the so called :"digital clocks" that produced poor quality sound, I decided to 
write my own. I showed it a few friends of mine ( they loved it) and the rest 
is history! Many other busines ghave used this program when billing clients 
while working in windows based programs. It has served as a complement
to many business packages.
