documented in
the Countdown
Timer Online Help) or by using the Create a timer
window
which appears if the program is run without any command line
switches.
Automatic update checking will ensure you always have the
latest version of this program. Update checking happens silently when
you have a
working Internet connection.
The Countdown Timer has extensive online help which
is reviewed and improved regularly, but you can choose to
install local help if you don't always have a Internet connection.
Local help installs the latest help system so that it runs from your
computer, not the Internet.
Timers created with Countdown Timer can survive reboot or shutdown. A
timer will automatically re-create itself if the computer is shutdown
or restarted before the timer has completed.
The Countdown Timer can be easily distributed by
simply copying the single program file. No need to run the
Setup program.
Are you a programmer?
The Countdown Timer sends a Windows message to
indicate a timer has completed. Programmers can write software to look
for these messages using the Windows API. A message is also sent if a
timer has
been canceled. These messages allow anyone with programming experience
to create advanced event response systems for their timers.
