Information about “PELTON COMPUTER CONSULTANTS”
Here are five utility programs with five different purposes, but all
helpful, easy to use, and well-documented.
Given a starting balance, interest rate, term, and an ending balance
(lower than the starting balance), DISTRIB will immediately calculate
the amount of money that you may take out of your interest-bearing
account (withdrawal amount) so that your money decreases to the ending
balance over the term.
FUTURE does the same problem but calculates the deposit amount when the
ending balance you desire is higher than the starting balance. Both of
these equations can be tricky with interest bearing accounts.
PAYMENTS is used to print range-and-spreads to the screen or to
your printer. You are asked for a starting interest rate which forms a
spread in increments of 0.5 across the top, and you are asked for a
starting value of another quantity which is spread in appropriate
increments down the left column. In between is a checkerboard of
values around which your eye may peruse so that you may hone in on an
interest rate that's best for you.
The SED utility program is a "stream editor." You run the program with
three qualifiers: the name of the file to be worked on, the old string,
and the new string. The stream editor then transforms the old string
into the new string without having to enter a wordprocessing program.
The SED program works only with ASCII files.
THINGS-TO-DO is a program to help you organize your lists of things to
do, for example, lists of prospects, appointments, repairmen, phone
numbers, action items for work projects, events leading up to a
closing, lists of parts to buy for repairing your house or remodeling,
grocery lists, lists of friends and their telephone numbers, party
supplies, or any list limited only by your imagination.

1. What is the G5LOAN program, and what does it do?
This loan program is not just another "run of the mill" loan scheduler.
G5LOAN will print out loan schedules for your documentation, loan summary
information, summary-by-years of interest and principal paid, and last pay-
ment. The loan calculator will calculate the payment, principal, rate, or
term, if you know three out of four of these quantities. Your G5LOAN pro-
gram will also calculate the add-on interest amount for installment loans as
well as show you the current rebate and the current payoff. How many times
have you had to call your bank and ask for this information? Suppose you
have a $3,000 loan. The interest rate is 13.5%. Compounding is monthly and
the term is 42 months. The loan calculator immediately calculates the pay-
ment as $90.03 per month and the add-on interest as $781.26, bringing the
total payback (sometimes called the "deferred payment price") to $3,781.26.
With G5LOAN you are able to calculate and document six types of loans:
1. regular direct-reduction, with level monthly payments,
2. regular direct-reduction, with twice-monthly payments,
3. regular direct-reduction, with payments every-2-weeks,
4. add-on interest installments according to the rule of 78's,
5. conventional old-fashioned - payments decrease with time,
6. direct-reduction using different compounding periods.
2. Features. The program offers you the following features:
o Full glorious, attractive color screens, or black & white (mono)
o Fancy reports to screen or printer
o Different compounding frequencies
o Pause or quit during report output
o Easy-to-understand queries (questions) - you don't need financial
training to use this program
o Escape or quit at any time
o Client's name and address block is saved for convenience
o This program aids you in solving serious financial-calculation
problems
o Fast loading
o The program is well thought out; people who use it like it
o Fast execution
o Continuous dedicated support by the author
o Excellent documentation
o This program will increase your productivity and give you a true
sense of accomplishment
o Information is where you need it.
3. How to print or view this manual.
Method 1: PRINT G5LOAN.DOC
Method 2: COPY G5LOAN.DOC LPT1
To view the manual on your screen just type: TYPE G5LOAN.DOC. If you wish
to stop the screen at any time simply press the "pause" key, and then press
<ENTER> to restart, or press ^S (this means hold down the <CTRL> key with
one finger and press the S key) to stop the screen and ^Q to restart. To
make our computing lives easier, there are some very nice screen viewing
programs available from your shareware dealer.

5. Registration procedures and donation.
See below for registration procedures. The suggested donation is $22.00.
6. Hardware requirements.
You'll need an IBM PC, XT, AT, or compatible computer with at least one
floppy disk drive (unless you plan to run from a diskless workstation) with
384K ("K" loosely stands for 1,000 or exactly 1,024 bytes) of memory, pref-
erably a color monitor but mono will work fine (see "Quick run" below). The
speed of your computer is not a major factor but the faster the better for
you anyway. You may use a dot matrix or laser printer.
7. Intended audience for the G5LOAN program.
Anyone who need loan information or loan schedules, either for mortgage-
type loans or for commercial (installment) loans, or creative loans be-
tween two parties, will find G5LOAN very useful, straightforward, and pro-
fessional looking.
8. Quick run. How to run the main program.
At the DOS prompt type: G5LOAN. This automatically runs the program in
either color mode or mono mode (black & white), according to the equipment
you have hooked up. The program actually checks your computer's configura-
tion and sets the color accordingly. Sometimes, as in the case of a laptop
computer, the screen is actually mono, but the video board is CGA (Color
Graphics Adapter). In this case, the program senses a color configuration,
hence, the mono screen washes out some colors. Therefore, if you have a
mono monitor being driven from a color card, you can force the program to
display in black & white by typing: G5LOAN /B. Similarly, you may force
the program into color with G5LOAN /C.
9. Installing the computer program.
If you wish to "install" this program on a hard disk, then do the follow-
ing: Put your floppy disk in a disk drive, say drive A:. Change directory
to drive C: by typing C: . Now, you want to be sure you are situated in
the top-level (or root) directory of drive C, so you should see the prompt
C:\. If you don't see this prompt, type CD \.
If you don't have a favorite directory to use such as \BIN then you can make
a new directory by using the MKDIR command of DOS. Suppose you want to call
your new directory FINANCE, then do MKDIR FINANCE (you could also do MD
FINANCE since MD is a nickname for MKDIR). Then do CD FINANCE. If you want
to check your working directory you can CD and the result should be
C:\FINANCE. Finally, just COPY A:*.*. To list the commands just discussed:
use this to use this if you do this if you just
make a dir first already have a dir want to run from floppy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
C: C: (insert pgm disk
CD \ CD \BIN in drive A)
MKDIR FINANCE CD A:
CD \FINANCE COPY A:*.*
CD
COPY A:*.*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get a printout of the registration form type: G5LOAN /R . To run the
program see "Quick Run" section above.
10. The questions the computer will be asking you.
The program will request the principal amount, rate, compounding period,
optional payment amount, starting date, optional job number, and optional
client name.
11. Exiting the program.
Pressing <ESCAPE> and sometimes E or e will either back you out of that
particular inquiry sequence or completely exit you from the program, depend-
ing on the context you are within. Pressing the <F1> key will repeat the
previous question. Suppose you made a mistake on the principal amount (you
typed 9000 instead of 90000), then at the interest rate inquiry just press
<F1> to go back to the principal amount inquiry and enter the correct
quantity.
12. Entering the Principal.
Here, the program asks how much was borrowed. Enter any amount up to
$99,999,999.99. Don't use commas or dollar signs. Below, the user entered
$10,000.00. (Type in E to exit).
Principal:
Enter principal amount financed >10000
13. Entering the Interest Rate.
Next, put in the interest rate (per year). In the example below, the user
was "charged" a "yearly" percentage rate of 10.75. (Type in E to exit).
Interest rate:
Enter yearly interest rate >10.75
14. Entering the Compounding Frequency.
Next, decide what compounding frequency you will be working with. Some
business loans are compounded quarterly. Most regular consumer loans are
compounded "monthly." To use "monthly" you may just hit carriage return
<ENTER> or M. (Type in E or <ESC> to exit).
Compounding Period:
The interest rate was given as a yearly rate (APR), but
the lender may calculate payments QUARTERLY which is every
three months, for example. Please make the appropriate choice
below.
<ENTER> OR M = compounding period is MONTHLY (typical),
D = DAILY,
W = WEEKLY,
2 = EVERY TWO WEEKS,
T = TWICE-MONTHLY,
Q = QUARTERLY,
S = SEMI-ANNUALLY,
A = ANNUALLY
Enter a letter on left (or just hit <ENTER> for MONTHLY) >
15. Displaying a Schedule.
After all data is entered, the program brings you to a summary screen from
which each entry may be further changed by choosing the corresponding num-
ber. When all data is correct you may proceed to the next menu, the output
menu, from which you may display or print a schedule, last payment, summary,
or yearly totals of interest and principal paid. If you selected printed
output, the program will request a job number (any arbitrary number).
16. Entering the optional Job Number.
You may enter a job number, or hit <ENTER>. Below, the user put in job
number 909. (Type in E to exit).
Job Number:
Would you like to give this report a job number, 'e' to exit,
or press <ENTER> for no job number >909
17. Entering the optional client's name and address.
Next, you may enter your name and address or your friend's or client's. The
computer "pulled" the name and address shown below from the disk. You are
asked if you wish to keep it on put in a new name and address. The name and
address are stored to help you save time and energy when processing multiple
schedules for the same party. (Type in E to exit).
Client:
Enter client name, address, etc.... press <ENTER> for no name, etc.

USER FEEDBACK FORM FOR: IRA CALC Program
1. What is the IRA CALC program, and what does it do?
IRA CALC is a computer program that calculates the ending balance for a
money-growth financial problem like that of an individual retirement
account. The program accepts an initial amount (when you open the account,
say), a recurring monthly amount, and a recurring yearly amount, with the
associated deposit dates. A summary of information, an abbreviated
schedule, and a full schedule can be printed or displayed. The IRA CALC
program solves many growth problems; not just ira's. Compounded daily
interest is used in the calculations.
As an example, consider an IRA with interest rate 5.5%, an initial deposit
of $100 on Feb. 2, 1989, a recurring monthly deposit of $50 which first
starts on Mar. 25, 1989, and a recurring yearly deposit of $500 which starts
on Apr 15, 1989. The IRA program calculated the final balance as $6,439.28.
2. Features. The program offers you the following features:
o Full glorious, attractive color screens, or black & white (mono)
o Fancy reports to screen or printer
o Accepts three type of financial data: initial deposit amount,
monthly deposit amount, and yearly deposit amount
o Pause or quit during report output
o Easy-to-understand queries (questions) - you don't need financial
training to use this program
o Escape or quit at any time
o Easy to change data and rerun the program
o This program aids you in solving serious financial-calculation
problems
o Fast loading
o The program is well thought out; people who use it like it
o Continuous dedicated support by the author
o Excellent documentation
o This program will increase your productivity and give you a true
sense of accomplishment
o Information is where you need it.
3. How to print or view this manual.
Method 1: PRINT IRA.DOC
Method 2: COPY IRA.DOC LPT1
To view the manual on your screen just type: TYPE IRA.DOC. If you wish
to stop the screen at any time simply press the "pause" key, and then press
<ENTER> to restart, or press ^S (this means hold down the <CTRL> key with
one finger and press the S key) to stop the screen and ^Q to restart. To
make our computing lives easier, there are some very nice screen viewing

IRA.DOC The document file you're reading now
IRA.COM The computer program itself
5. Registration procedures and donation.
See below for registration procedures. The suggested donation is $22.00.
6. Hardware requirements.
You'll need an IBM PC, XT, AT, or compatible computer with at least one
floppy disk drive (unless you plan to run from a diskless workstation) with
384K ("K" loosely stands for 1,000 or exactly 1,024 bytes) of memory, pref-
erably a color monitor but mono will work fine (see "Quick run" below). The
speed of your computer is not a major factor but the faster the better for
you anyway. You may use a dot matrix or laser printer.
7. Intended audience for the IRA CALC program.
Anybody who is interested in money growth needs the IRA CALC program. You
don't have to be a financial advisor, attorney, or money professional.
8. Quick run. How to run the main program.
At the DOS prompt type: IRA. This automatically runs the program in
either color mode or mono mode (black & white), according to the equipment
you have hooked up. The program actually checks your computer's configura-
tion and sets the color accordingly. Sometimes, as in the case of a laptop
computer, the screen is actually mono, but the video board is CGA (Color
Graphics Adapter). In this case, the program senses a color configuration,
hence, the mono screen washes out some colors. Therefore, if you have a
mono monitor being driven from a color card, you can force the program to
display in black & white by typing: IRA /B. Similarly, you may force
the program into color with IRA /C.
11. Installing the computer program.
If you wish to "install" this program on a hard disk, then do the follow-
ing: Put your floppy disk in a disk drive, say drive A:. Change directory
to drive C: by typing C: . Now, you want to be sure you are situated in
the top-level (or root) directory of drive C, so you should see the prompt
C:\. If you don't see this prompt, type CD \.
If you don't have a favorite directory to use such as \BIN then you can make
a new directory by using the MKDIR command of DOS. Suppose you want to call
your new directory FINANCE, then do MKDIR FINANCE (you could also do MD
FINANCE since MD is a nickname for MKDIR). Then do CD FINANCE. If you want
to check your working directory you can CD and the result should be
C:\FINANCE. Finally, just COPY A:*.*. To list the commands just discussed:
use this to use this if you do this if you just
make a dir first already have a dir want to run from floppy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
C: C: (insert pgm disk

MKDIR FINANCE CD A:
CD \FINANCE COPY A:*.*
CD
COPY A:*.*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get a printout of the registration form type: IRA /R . To run the
program see "Quick Run" section above.
Every once-in-a-while DOS doesn't correctly copy a program, and it may not
work right away or at some later point during execution. If the program
doesn't work try recopying it or maybe use the /V (verify) qualifier on the
copy command as: COPY/V A:*.*.
12. Running the computer program.
Put the disk in floppy disk drive and type in IRA (see sections 6, 7, and
8 above). The standard Pelton screen will come right up, and then ask a
group of questions (see below). At any question, you may press <ESCAPE> to
exit the program.
14. The questions the computer will be asking you.
Below is shown a typical session of the IRA CALC program:
Enter Annual Interest Rate (e.g, 7.5, E=exit) >5.5
Enter Total Number of Years >5
Enter Total Number of Months >0
5 Years, and 0 Months for 60 Total periods
Initial Deposit Amount:
This is the amount you first deposited when you opened your account.
Enter Initial Deposit Amount = 100
Enter Initial Deposit Date (MMDDYY) = 02-01-89
Monthly Contribution Amount:
This is the recurring monthly amount you plan to put into your IRA
every month. If zero, just hit <ENTER>, or enter 0.
Enter Monthly Contribution Amount = 50
Monthly Contribution Date:
This is the date of your FIRST monthly contribution. The day of
the month will be used in the calculations.
Enter Monthly Contribution Date (MMDDYY) = 03-25-89
Yearly Contribution Amount:
If you plan to make a yearly contribution perhaps at tax time, put
amount here. If zero, just hit <ENTER>, or enter 0.
Enter Yearly Contribution Amount = 500
Yearly Contribution Date:
This is the date of your YEARLY recurring contribution. It will be
used in the calculations.
Enter Yearly Contribution Date (MMDDYY) = 04-15-89

16. Exiting the program.
Pressing <ESCAPE> and sometimes E or e will either back you out of that
particular inquiry sequence or completely exit you from the program, depend-
ing on the context you are within. Pressing the <F1> key will repeat the
previous question. Suppose you made a mistake on the principal amount (you
typed 9000 instead of 90000), then at the interest rate inquiry just press
<F1> to go back to the principal amount inquiry and enter the correct
quantity.

REGISTRATION FORM FOR: PROFIT Program
USER FEEDBACK FORM FOR: PROFIT Program
1. What is the PROFIT SHARE program, and what does it do?
The PROFIT SHARE program, using a small employee data base and an initial
amount called the company contribution, quickly calculates the share of
profit of each employee based on a weighted average of five employee fields:
salary, time with company (based on anniversary date), hours worked during
the profit-sharing year, an arbitrary factor (from 1 to 5 which may be used
as a "seniority" factor), and the participation flag ("YES" or "NO") which
states whether or not this employee participates in this profit-sharing
program. The calculation takes only a second or two which may save weeks or
months of hand-calculation work.
2. Features. The program offers you the following features:
o Full glorious, attractive color screens, or black & white (mono)
o Fast point-and-shoot menus
o Fancy reports to screen or printer
o Super fast calculation of individual profit shares
o Pause or quit during report output
o Easy-to-understand queries (questions) - you don't need financial
training to use this program
o Escape or quit at any time
o This program aids you in solving serious financial-calculation
problems
o Fast loading
o The program is well thought out; people who use it like it
o Fast execution
o Continuous dedicated support by the author
o Excellent documentation
o This program will increase your productivity and give you a true
sense of accomplishment
o Information is where you need it.
3. How to print or view this manual.
Method 1: PRINT PROFIT.DOC
Method 2: COPY PROFIT.DOC LPT1
To view the manual on your screen just type: TYPE PROFIT.DOC. If you wish
to stop the screen at any time simply press the "pause" key, and then press
<ENTER> to restart, or press ^S (this means hold down the <CTRL> key with
one finger and press the S key) to stop the screen and ^Q to restart. To
make our computing lives easier, there are some very nice screen viewing
programs available from your shareware dealer.
4. Files included with this release.
PROFIT.DOC The document file you're reading now
PROFIT.COM The computer program itself
PROFIT.DAT The real (live) data file (initially empty)
PSSAMPLE.DAT The sample (practice) data file (30 records)
5. Registration procedures and donation.
See below for registration procedures. The suggested donation is $34.00.
6. Hardware requirements.
You'll need an IBM PC, XT, AT, or compatible computer with at least one
floppy disk drive (unless you plan to run from a diskless workstation) with
512K ("K" loosely stands for 1,000 or exactly 1,024 bytes) of memory, pref-
erably a color monitor but mono will work fine (see "Quick run" below). The
speed of your computer is not a major factor but the faster the better for
you anyway. You may use a dot matrix or laser printer for reports.
7. Intended audience for the PROFIT program.
The PROFIT share program was created for the small or medium-sized firm
which needs a way to easily calculate each employee's share of the profit
given the company's contribution and some information about each employee.
8. Quick run. How to run the main program.
At the DOS prompt type: PROFIT. This automatically runs the program in
either color mode or mono mode (black & white), according to the equipment
you have hooked up. The program actually checks your computer's configura-
tion and sets the color accordingly. Sometimes, as in the case of a laptop
computer, the screen is actually mono, but the video board is CGA (Color
Graphics Adapter). In this case, the program senses a color configuration,
but the mono screen washes out some colors. Therefore, if you have a mono
monitor being driven from a color card, you can force the program to display
in black & white by typing: PROFIT /B. Similarly, you may force the
program into color with PROFIT /C.
9. Installing the computer program.
If you wish to "install" this program on a hard disk, then do the follow-
ing: Put your floppy disk in a disk drive, say drive A:. Change directory
to drive C: by typing C: . Now, you want to be sure you are situated in
the top-level (or root) directory of drive C, so you should see the prompt
C:\. If you don't see this prompt, type CD \.
If you don't have a favorite directory to use such as \BIN then you can make
a new directory by using the MKDIR command of DOS. Suppose you want to call
your new directory FINANCE, then do MKDIR FINANCE (you could also do MD
FINANCE since MD is a nickname for MKDIR). Then do CD FINANCE. If you want
to check your working directory you can CD and the result should be
C:\FINANCE. Finally, just COPY A:*.*. To list the commands just discussed:
use this to use this if you do this if you just
make a dir first already have a dir want to run from floppy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
C: C: (insert pgm disk
CD \ CD \BIN in drive A)
MKDIR FINANCE CD A:
CD \FINANCE COPY A:*.*
CD
COPY A:*.*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get a printout of the registration form type: PROFIT /R . To run the
program see "Quick Run" section above.
Every once-in-a-while DOS doesn't correctly copy a program, and it may not
work right away or at some later point during execution. If the program
doesn't work try recopying it or maybe use the /V (verify) qualifier on the
copy command as: COPY/V A:*.*.
10. The sample and real data bases.
There are two data bases that come with your PROFIT program. One is the
"live" or real data base (PROFIT.DAT); the other is a sample or practice
data base (PSSAMPLE.DAT) with which you may experiment with all the features
of the program. Upon program start, you are asked which data base you want
to work with.
DO YOU WANT TO USE THE SAMPLE DATA BASE,
OR THE LIVE ONE? (S/L) >
Be careful not to "practice" with the real data. See section 18 below.
11. The Main Menu. Shown below is the point-and-shoot main menu. Just
move your cursor using the arrow keys to highlight the desired choice and
press <ENTER>.
PROFIT SHARE PROGRAM MAIN MENU
1. Employee List Maintenance (& Calc)
2. Set Company P-S Contribution
3. Reports Generator
4. Backup Data
5. Exit To DOS
12. The Employee List Maintenance Menu.
Shown below is the employee list maintenance menu. Notice selection #5, the
"recalculate" selection. Choose #5 to recalculate and balance the finances.
If the company contribution os zero, the recalculate choice won't recalcu-
late.
EMPLOYEE LIST MAINTENANCE MENU
1. Look at an Employee
2. Add an Employee
3. Make a Change to an Employee
4. Remove an Employee Permanently
5. Recalculate the Profit Share
6. Reports Generator
7. Exit this menu to main menu
13. Adding new data records.
To add new employee data, choose #2 from the list employee maintenance menu.
Shown below is a sample session. If you want the employee to partake of a
profit share, then type in "Y" (or y) in the participant field. If you want
to disqualify this employee (maybe he or she doesn't want to be included, or
can't be included in profit sharing) then type in "N" (or n). Also, HOURS
can stand for hours worked per profit-sharing season (calendar or fiscal
year, or whatever). The data base holds a maximum of 500 entries, as of
this version.
ADDING A DATA RECORD
EMPLOYEE ID# (100-200): 109 PARTICIPANT (Y/N): YES
SOCIAL SECURITY #: 332-36-9911
DEPARTMENT: HEALTH ED.
LAST NAME: BINDER
FIRST NAME: MARCIA W.
START DATE: 02-10-83
FACTOR (1-5): 1
HOURS: 2,001.00
ANNUAL SALARY: 26,500.00
PROFIT SHARE: 736.66
14. Adding or changing the Company Contribution.
To create or change you company contribution amount, choose #2 from the main
menu (see section 11). The company contribution is the amount of money that
the company is willing to divide among all participants in the profit-shar-
ing program. The maximum amount is $10 Million. An example is shown below.
ENTER COMPANY PROFIT SHARING CONTRIBUTION
Company Contribution > 7,500.00
Contribution Date > 12-32-87
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Press S to save data, any other key for no-save
15. Calculating the actual profit share.
After you make any employee changes, or if you should change the company
contribution amount, you must recalculate the shares. Choose #5 from the
employee list maintenance menu. This massive calculation takes only a
second or so for the computer, where, by hand, it could take weeks or
months.
16. The report generator.
The report generator menu is presented to you after choosing #3 from the
main menu. The six types of sorted reports are shown below.
REPORT GENERATION MENU
1. Print SHARE-LIST by ID#
2. Print SHARE-LIST by LAST NAME
3. Print SHARE-LIST by START DATE
4. Print SHARE-LIST by SALARY
5. Print SHARE-LIST by PROFIT SHARE
6. Print SHARE-LIST by SOCIAL SEC.#
7. Exit this menu
Your Choice (E=exit) >
17. The Backup Utility.
For your convenience, a data backup utility has been included in the PROFIT
program. Choose #4 from the main menu to run it. The live data base
(PROFIT.DAT) is the one that gets backed up. You may choose which diskette
drive to use. See below for a sample session.
DATA BACKUP UTILITY
BACKUP DATA TO WHICH DISKETTE DRIVE? (A, B): A
COPYING DATA FILE TO DISKETTE DRIVE A
PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT....
BACKUP FINISHED!
18. Administrating your data files.
As previously mentioned, you have two data base files: a sample (PSSAMPLE
.DAT) and a live one (PROFIT.DAT). You should back up your live data base
as often as any changes are made. The backup utility (see section 17) backs
up the live data base only. Make your backup and label it with the profit-
share year and date. It wouldn't hurt to make two backups. Get some hard
copies of all reports, which will be used for reference, and store them
safely. Then for the next profit-sharing season just modify the employee
fields that have changed, e.g., salary, rank, and then add and delete
employee entries accordingly.
19. Exiting the program.
Pressing <ESCAPE> and sometimes E or e will either back you out of that par-
ticular inquiry sequence or completely exit you from the program, depending
on the context you are within.

1. What is the TIMER program, and what does it do?
TIMER is a neat little utility program that lets you use your computer in
real time (it's not a TSR, i.e., a terminate-and-stay-resident program) for
a timer - like an egg timer - but with 25 different sound effects. Via com-
mand-line qualifiers you set the seconds or minutes between noises (sound
effects), the number of cycles, and the noise type (A-Z). If you have to
tape record a phone call and you need a 15-second beep, use TIMER /S=15 /J.
TIMER can be used for games or any timed event. It's fun to explore the
different sound effects. You can even emulate a telephone's sound.
2. Features. The program offers you the following features:
o 25 different sound effects
o Set number of minutes between sound effects
o Set number of seconds between sound effects
o Set number of cycles for the program to run through and then end
o Can explore different sound effects with only one qualifier
o Escape or quit at any time
o Fast loading and execution
o Continuous dedicated support by the author
o Excellent documentation
o If you ever need a timer on your computer, this is it.
3. How to print or view this manual.
Method 1: PRINT TIMER.DOC
Method 2: COPY TIMER.DOC LPT1
4. Files included with this release.
TIMER.DOC The document file you're reading now
TIMER.COM The computer program itself
5. Registration procedures and donation.
See below for registration procedures. The suggested donation is $10.00.
6. Hardware requirements.
You'll need an IBM PC, XT, AT, or compatible computer with at least one
floppy disk drive (unless you plan to run from a diskless workstation) with
256K ("K" loosely stands for 1,000 or exactly 1,024 bytes) of memory and a
mono monitor.
7. Intended audience for the TIMER program.
Anybody who needs a computerized timer for any kind of timed event like tape
recording a telephone call where you must beep every 15 seconds.
8. Quick run. How to run the main program.
At the DOS prompt type: TIMER. This automatically runs the program in mono
mode (black & white). Just typing TIMER will give you the "usage" display:
Usage: timer /M=i /S=j /N=k /A
where i is number of minutes (default = 0),
j is number of seconds (default = 1)
k is max number of cycles (default = 10000)
A is a sound effects type (can use A-Z, def.= A)
(press any key to quit)
examples: timer /s=2 /n=100 /F
timer /Q would test Q's sound effect at 1 sec. intervals
(press any key to quit)
timer /R would print a registration form
9. Examples of run-time qualifiers.
Here is a complete sample session of TIMER:
timer /g /n=3 /s=2
Seconds= 2 Max number of cycles= 3 Sound effects G
12:45:54
12:46:00
Program done
In the above session we requested sound effects G, 2-second intervals, and
only 3 cycles before the program ends. Here's another example:
timer /x /n=4 /s=2
Seconds= 2 Max number of cycles= 4 Sound effects X
12:46:45
12:46:49
Program done
In the above session we asked for and got 2-second intervals and 4 cycles
using the X sound effect.
Here are examples of just testing out the sound effects at the default of 1-
second intervals and infinite cycles. To stop the program at any time,
press any key.
timer /U
timer /b
timer /M
The qualifiers can be upper or lower case.
10. Exiting the program.
Press any key at any time. Also pressing ^C or ^Break (the ^ symbol means
hold down the <CTRL> key, e.g., ^C means hold down <CTRL> while you tap the
C key) will discontinue the program.
