RTimer - A Windows 3.1 Task Scheduler
ver. 1.3a

1992-93 Robin Scher - RSoft

***UNREGISTERED VERSION***

OVERVIEW

This program will execute tasks for you at specific times. The tasks
can be
- Executing a program in either the foreground or minimized
- Opening a specific file in an application
- Printing a specific file
- Displaying a message

For full instructions, see the help file that comes with the program.

Please note that testing has been done, but there may still be a few
bugs for you to find. If you have any comments, please send them to
me at:

[email protected]

RTimer has not been tested over a network. I have no clue if it will
function. If you try this, please let me know how it goes.

This unregistered version will stop functioning January 1, 1994.

INSTALLATION

To install RTimer, place the executable and help file in a directory
together. Execute the RTIMER.EXE file.

To make RTimer load with Windows, you can either put it in your
Startup group, or use the RTimer options box to add it to your
WIN.INI.

RTimer will create a file called "RTIMER.INI" in your Windows
directory. This file contains all of RTimer's settings and the list
of tasks to be executed. Although you can modify this file yourself,
it would probably not be a good idea. Use the task editor in RTimer
to add, edit, or delete tasks.

For further instructions and help, see the RTimer Help file.

REGISTRATION

RTimer is Shareware! Please register your copy. For registering, you
will get a copy that wont die on January 1, 1994. You will also get
upgrades and bug fixes. Registering Shareware allows the little guys,
like myself, to keep writing cool programs than can be obtained for
very little money. Besides, I've done it, so can you.
