THIS IS THE "HELP" FILE SO PLEASE LEAVE IN THE SAME
    DIRECTORY AS THE  "Alarm.exe"  FILE.


Just enter the time you want the alarm to go off,
then click on the appropriate button for AM or PM
to set the alarm. The clock will keep time if the
alarm is not set, but will hold on the alarm time
if the alarm is set.

Right click the clock window and select "Minimize"
to minimize the clock (icon will display in system
tray in lower right corner of desktop). Right click
the icon in the tray to display the clock. If the
clock is minimized to the system tray, it will
bounce back upscreen when the alarm goes off.

Click on "Stop" button to halt the alarm (or hit
"Enter", or right click, etc...).

To Clear or Reset the alarm you must right click
the clock window and select "Clear Alarm."

Do not use 24 hour time format (e.g. 13;00 for
1:00 PM) but rather enter the time as 1;00 and
then select the "Set PM" button. You may also
enter the time using a dot as a delimiter (e.g.
1.30) or a colon, a semi-colon (e.g. 1;30), a
comma, or even a dash (1-30) for ease of use.

You can hide the buttons if you want to
display the clock on the desktop in a more
aesthetic fashion (right click; "Hide Buttons").

If you want to remind yourself of something
specific, click on the "Message" button and enter
a note that will display when you stop the alarm
when it goes off. You do not have to follow any
specific order: Set the Alarm, Enter a Note; or,
Enter the Note first. You can also revise the
Message whenever you want [before the alarm goes
off of course]--just show the Alarm Clock, click
on "Message," update the note and hit "Enter" or
click "OK." The revision will be saved. Just
click on "Message" again to review the message.

The message you enter for the alarm is
destroyed either when you "Clear Alarm" [right
click] or when the alarm goes off and the message
is dismissed, or when you click "Clear Message"
on the message dialog.

To set Midnight: 12.00 "Set AM" button
To set Noon:     12.00 "Set PM" button
