Shareware Version 1.01S - 7/20/92 interim release


INTRODUCTION
------------
Yakkity Clock is a fun, easy-to-use "talking clock" utility for
the Microsoft Windows operating environment.

Yakkity Clock literally "tells" you the time at the press of a
button -- or at easily configured intervals from once every hour
to once every minute. A number of built-in sound effects can be
substituted for the "interval" voice time -- you can even set up
Yakkity Clock to bark like a dog!

Yakkity Clock is an alarm clock, too! Up to four independent
alarms can be set and enabled quickly and easily. Plus, the
alarm feature can be configured to play either of the two
standard sounds OR any stand-alone .WAV sound file located in
the Yakkity Clock directory!


VERSION 1.01 RELEASE NOTES
------- --- ------- -----
Yakkity Clock (Version 1.01) is an interim release that features
improved memory handling and a number of performance enhancements.

The improvements implemented in this release make Yakkity Clock
more efficient with system memory and "friendlier" to other
applications that may make demands on your sound system hardware.

As always, registered users will be advised of any future releases
or upgrade announcements regarding this product.

READ ALL ABOUT IT

Full product documentation is contained in the YAKKITYS.TXT file.
This is an ASCII text file which can be easily loaded and viewed
with Windows Notepad, Windows Write, or any word processor or text
editor that supports the ASCII text format. This file includes a
program description, instructions, and technical notes.

Hypertext program documentation is supplied in the YAKKITYS.HLP
file. This is a Windows Help System format file, which can be
loaded and viewed with Windows Help -- and is directly accessed
from within Yakkity Clock via the menu bar "Help/Contents"
command.

Both of these files contain all the information you need to
install and run this program. The Windows Help System includes
the provision for easily printing any topic or topics from the
YAKKITYS.HLP file. This handy feature can be used to turn your
"manual on disk" into hard copy for future reference.

fuss, simply create a new directory or subdirectory on your

From Microsoft Windows, you can run this program from File
