Chronos Revision History
Last updated November 21, 1997
Rev 0.0.60
-
Released to registered and unregistered users.
-
The Timer now has a Repeat mode that counts down to zero, rings the alarm
and then resets and begins to count down again. Note that there is
no visual alert box when Chronos Timer is in Repeat Mode. Also, you
should have a look at the Known Bugs section and read about the alarm polling
error inherent in the PalmPilot®.
-
There is now rudimentary Daylight Savings Time support for Home and World
time zones. Checking the DST boxes in Preferences will simply add
one hour to the displayed time. I hope to provide true DST support
down the road which will allow you to set DST start and end dates and which
will actually change your PalmPilot's system time appropriately.
-
Auto-Off Enabled switch now affects the Timer as well as the Stopwatch.
This is a work-around to overcome the Pilot's alarm bug as described below.
-
The last Lap Time is now copied to the clipboard. You can paste the
lap time into any application which works with the clipboard.
