For years I have used KIWI's alarm clock application. Unfortunately it recently malfunctioned and I seem unable to locate the original source for that nice little (and useful) APP.

If KIWI or someone else can point me to a link where I can re-download it, I would be most grateful.

Thanks,

David

Thats a lot of years David.

As I recall it the app was using MS Visual Basic which I'd hacked. I'll have a look around and post it but I run linux now so I can't really test it.

Can you recall what the exact name was so I can search for it?

Heres my old files.

I now just use a bit of acsil code to give me a countdown in each relevant SC window. If you use it the bits that refer to up and down can be removed or just set to zero.

Hi KIWI,

Thanks for replying, and yes it was a long time ago!

I vaguely seem to recall you referring it as: your hack of "iceman's" clock... but I cannot be sure.

Thanks,

David
