+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Katie's Clock (KC) is a tool to help parents teach their children how to
tell the time of day from conventional analogue clocks. Although a computer
literate child can easily learn how to use KC we recommend that a parent be
present, at least in the beginning, to ensure that the child doesn't get
discouraged. Parental feedback is important in all learning situations.
I you have VGA display KC will be displayed in the VGA mode. Likewise, if
you have EGA display KC will be diplayed in the EGA mode. If you have VGA
but want the display in EGA press F9 at the introductory screen. The only
advantage to this is a faster screen response for slower machines.
KC can be used in several different ways:
CLOCK: In this mode the actual time will be displayed (if your computers'
internal clock is set properly - refer to your DOS manual). This is the way
in which the clock portion of the program begins. To get back TO this mode
FROM any other mode press the F5 key.
RANDOM: This mode, invoked by the F2 key, causes the clock to display
various times, randomly, by pressing the Space Bar or the Enter key.
INPUT: Invoked by the F3 key, this mode allows you to input a time in order
to tell what it looks like on a clock face. Enter the Hour, a comma, then
the Minutes. Use the backspace key to make corrections.
SEQUENTIAL: Invoked by the F4 key, this mode starts the clock at 12:00 and
allows you to increment the time by 5 minutes each time you press the Space
Bar or Enter key.
DIGITAL DISPLAY: The F1 key toggles (turns on or off) a digital display of
the time and a statement of the time such as {15 minutes after 3}. This
feature is available in any mode.
REGISTERED USERS: Feel free to write if you have questions or suggestions to
improve the program (be sure to send registration number with letter).
HARDWARE/SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS: Version 1.10 requires a color VGA or EGA
monitor, and DOS 2.11 or greater. Version 1.20 (due out in October, 1990)
will work with CGA monitors.
REGISTRATION: By registering (only $12 postpaid) you'll not only fulfill
your legal and ethical obligations but you'll also receive:

2) another TZK program (shareware version) of your choice (see below);

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Katie's Clock (KC) is a tool to help parents teach their children how to
tell the time of day from conventional analogue clocks. Although a computer
literate child can easily learn how to use KC we recommend that a parent be
present, at least in the beginning, to ensure that the child doesn't get
discouraged. Parental feedback is important in all learning situations.
I you have VGA display KC will be displayed in the VGA mode. Likewise, if
you have EGA display KC will be diplayed in the EGA mode. If you have VGA
but want the display in EGA press F9 at the introductory screen. The only
advantage to this is a faster screen response for slower machines.
KC can be used in several different ways:
CLOCK: In this mode the actual time will be displayed (if your computers'
internal clock is set properly - refer to your DOS manual). This is the way
in which the clock portion of the program begins. To get back TO this mode
FROM any other mode press the F5 key.
RANDOM: This mode, invoked by the F2 key, causes the clock to display
various times, randomly, by pressing the Space Bar or the Enter key.
INPUT: Invoked by the F3 key, this mode allows you to input a time in order
to tell what it looks like on a clock face. Enter the Hour, a comma, then
the Minutes. Use the backspace key to make corrections.
SEQUENTIAL: Invoked by the F4 key, this mode starts the clock at 12:00 and
allows you to increment the time by 5 minutes each time you press the Space
Bar or Enter key.
DIGITAL DISPLAY: The F1 key toggles (turns on or off) a digital display of
the time and a statement of the time such as {15 minutes after 3}. This
feature is available in any mode.
REGISTERED USERS: Feel free to write if you have questions or suggestions to
improve the program (be sure to send registration number with letter).
HARDWARE/SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS: Version 1.10 requires a color VGA or EGA
monitor, and DOS 2.11 or greater. Version 1.20 (due out in October, 1990)
will work with CGA monitors.
REGISTRATION: By registering (only $12 postpaid) you'll not only fulfill
your legal and ethical obligations but you'll also receive:
1) a floppy disk with the latest registered version of Katie's Clock;
