PCLOCK is a "Freeware Program," and is provided at no charge to the user.
Feel free to share it with your friends or colleagues, but please do not
give it away altered or without its associated files. The program is dis-
tributed free of charge as a way of promoting my other Shareware programs.

                         --- PROGRAM INFORMATION ---

PCLOCK displays an analog clock and a monthly calendar on PC/AT compatible
computers with EGA or better color monitors. The time and date are set
according to the current system clock.

You can use the DOS command line to select a color scheme for PCLOCK, and to
customize on-screen messages. The command line parameters are as follows:

           -C1 is the background color.
           -C2 is the clock color.
           -C3 is the calendar & border color.
           -T1 is the text line displayed at the top of the screen.
           -T2 is the text line displayed at the bottom of the screen.

and the valid color names are:

           black     red
           blue      magenta
           green     brown / yellow
           cyan      white

Each delimiter and argument must be separated by one space (for example,
-C3 green -T1 text). Here is a sample call to PCLOCK showing how the
command line parameters are applied:

pclock -C1 yellow -C2 blue -C3 red -T1 top text line -T2 bottom text line

The clock and calendar colors (-C2 and -C3) can't be the same as the
backgound color (-C1), and black is not allowed as a background color.
You can enter ANY text lines you like for -T1 and -T2, as long as they are
each less than 76 charatcers. Note that all text will be displayed in UPPER
CASE. Press any key or mouse button to exit the program.
