This document containts some useful information
about Indicator 1.0

MAIN INFORMATION
================
The program is a free beta version.
Indicator 1.0 was created as a 32-bit version
for Windows 95/98.
The purpose of the program is to show you how
much time do you spend and loose sitting near
your computer.
So each time when you start the program 
(autostart is recommended) it fixes -up the
time and also shows you the per cent 
indicator of this time (the indicator bar reaches
it's maximum -100 % after 24 hours of working);

FIRST START
===========
If you installed the program correctly - you'll have
no problems with the first start,but if you
have only the 'indicator.exe' file of the program
then the program will create the other necessary
files automatically for each option that does not
have the necessay file, so if you have only the *.exe
file ,then read the next chapter.

GETTING STARTED ONLY WITH the 'indicator.exe' FILE
(This information is also important if you accidentally
removed some useful files from \Indicator\ directory)
==================================================
Warning: if you have only the *.exe file you will
not have the posibility to create different 
backgrounds that are automatically installed to the
full version, so you'll have to use only your
own backgrounds in *.bmp format.

!Do not rename 'indicator.exe' file!

Follow next steps to make the program work correctly:

1.Start the *.exe file
2.Click on the timer by the rigth button of your mouse
and choose the new font color from the popup menu.
3.Click on the other part of the form  by the right
button of the mouse and choose "Show last time".
4.From the same menu choose "Set total counter to zero" or
"Show total time".
5.Make the double click on the form.
6.Choose "Background" button from the properties form that 
might appear.
7.Click on "Browse" button and find any file in *.bmp
format.
(also you can click on the arrow in the center of the 
properties form and change the color of the form.)
8.Choose "Close" and restart the program
9.Change all the settings according to your choice.
But remember that it will not be saved.
11.Restart the program again and all your next
settings will be saved.

* This procedure is necessary only at the first time
if you have only the 'indicator.exe' file.

SOME OTHER INFORMATION
=======================
Form Size
---------
Each time when you start the program it analyses your
current Windows settings and makes it's own setting
according to them, so when you change the size of
your desktop it's recommended to use the popup menu
option "Analise size" or to restart the program.

Backgrounds
-----------
The program has it's standart set of the backgrounds
but you can use any picture in *.bmp format for
this purpose - for example your Windows screen saver.
(You can activate the properties form by the double
click on the main window.)

Timer
-----------
You can see the total time that you lost near
your computer by choosing the popup menu option 
"Show total time" but if you are shamed to look at
the results - you can set the total sum counter
to zero anytime by choosing the same option from the
popup menu.
