----------==  SuperAlarm Readme File  ==----------
 ------------------------------------------------

 Welcome to the Readme file for Matt 'Indomitus' Grommes'
first real Windows95 program, SuperAlarm. This is the first
program I have written for any platform outside of Linux
so if it's crappy, that's why. If you are reading this then 
surprise, you're a beta tester. Now you can tell all your 
friends how cool you are. This is the first release version 
of SuperAlarm and I still have to add all kinds of other cool 
stuff to it. This version is just to get the product out to 
market, so to speak. I intend to keep working on SuperAlarm 
until it is perfect so if you keep checking back on my website 
(www.nmt.edu/~mattg), I'll be putting out new versions whenever 
I get something new and cool put into it.

------------------------------------------------------
		What is SuperAlarm?
 SuperAlarm is a free alarm clock program that plays either
WAV sounds or MP3 songs (via your MP3 player) instead
of an anoying screeching sound like my other alarm does.
 SuperAlarm also saves your alarm times and MP3 player to 
a file so they are restored when you restart the program.


------------------------------------------------------
		How to use SuperAlarm
 It's actually pretty self explanitory, set the alarm times, 
choose a file to play, push the button. That's it. If you 
want to play an MP3, you have to use the 'Find MP3 Player'
button and choose your MP3 player of choice.

------------------------------------------------------
		    General Info
 SuperAlarm is, and always will be, free. I started out using 
BBSs and free software and I love the idea of nag-free 
sharware. If, out of the kindness of your heart, you choose 
to send me anything (a postcard from where you live, 
pizza money, etc.) I will be eternally greatful and you will 
also recieve SuperPriority email tech support. This means that 
I will answer your email questions before I do anything else. 
There is only one person who has priority above SuperPriority 
and she knows who she is. :)
 I have tested SuperAlarm under Win95 (not OSR2) but I see 
no reason why it shouldn't also work under Win95 OSR2 and 
Windows NT. If you use SuperAlarm under either of these 
platforms please let me know (mattg@nmt.edu).
 The only MP3 player I have tested SuperAlarm with is Winamp.
If your personal MP3 player supports command-line input of 
songs then it should work. Again, if you use SuperAlarm with 
any other MP3 player, please tell me. If you don't use Winamp, 
you reall should. It rocks. Go to www.winamp.com to get it.

		      Soon to come
-- Tabs
 I am going to work on converting SuperAlarm to a tabbed 
application, like the 'System' menu in your Control Panel. 
This will mean that I can add a 'Configuration' tab to it 
and get rid of that ugly 'Find MP3 Player' button.
-- Tray Icon
 I want to get SuperAlarm to minimize to the taskbar when you 
push the minimize button. This doesn't look too difficult 
so it probably won't take too long to impliment.
-- Snooze bar
 I am adding a snooze bar as soon as I ass the Config tab.
-- Alarm restarts
 At the moment, if you push the 'Set Alarm' button and then 
change the alarm time, it doesn't clear the old time. That  
will be fixed soon.
-- CD Player
 One of my longer term goals is to add a CD player to SuperAlarm. 
-- any other stuff I can think of
-- any other stuff that you can think of
 I want to make SuperAlarm a product of it's users wishes. If 
you have a feature you'd like to see, please tell me.
