Amendment History : -------------------- Vers Date Description 1.1 28-Sep-96 First Public Release. 1.2 29-Sep-96 Improve time format. 1.3 27-Jan-97 Add in Registration functionality. 1.4 24-May-97 Save settings automatically on Windows 95 shutdown (Registered Users only). Start Minimised if set in Shortcut / settings (Registered Users only). Improve application startup - size and position form before user sees it. 1.5 17-Jun-97 Add in Menu items for viewing my Shareware Catalog, the Readme file, and the Registration Form. Display the current time in red on a black background to make it look a bit like an LED clock. 1.6 11-Jan-98 Fix a long standing but very elusive problem to do with "DateEncode" errors which occured on some machines under some conditions. Once I could replicate the error, it was reasonably straight forward to get a workaround for what was another bug in Delphi. (2,600 lines of code / comments.) 1.7 20-Apr-2000 Add in Form and Component Scaling when the program's main window is resized - really Cool !! Fix NT Warning on Shutdown on some PCs. Store the INI settings file in the program's directory, rather that in the Windows' directory - there's enough crap there already ! ;) Add in "Always On Top" functionality - available from the "File" menu. (5,316 lines of code / comments.) 1.8 17-Apr-2001 This program is now FREEWARE - see "Freeware Information" above. Add in support for "Big Fonts" and "Other Sized Fonts" - with these Windows resizes the windows automatically - but only sometimes and it doesn't always do it right, so now I make sure my main window is the right size before doing any scaling, etc. i.e. I make it fit the This component(s) that extend the furthest right and Program furthest down the form. See the Start Menu -> is now Settings -> Control Pannel -> Display -> Settings FREE !! Tab -> "Advanced" button -> "General" tab for your PC's settings in this area. Bring program up-to-date with my latest code libraries. Release this program as Freeware. (7,669 lines of code / comments.) 1.8b 20-Nov-2002 Bring the program up to date with my latest code libraries. The default release of this program is now for Windows 95 / NT or later. (If you need a Windows 3.x version, let me know). (30,649 lines of code / comments.) 1.9 17-Nov-2003 Bring the program up to date with my latest code libraries. (42,730 lines of code / comments.) 1.91 3-Dec-2003 Fix the day of the week display (caused by upgrading to a new version of Borland Delphi) - thanks Ed for reporting this. Remove the "Please Register" nag - thanks Ed for reporting this. (42,738 lines of code / comments.) 1.92 24-Dec-2003 Cater for (hopefully) all possible combinations of screen fonts and date / time format and window sizes by calculating how high / wide the current date / time string is and making sure that this fits comfortably in the main window without any truncation or excess gaps - thanks Ed for reporting this. There are other / more elegant ways to handle this, which I will implement if this gives you any more problems Ed. (42,848 lines of code / comments.) 1.93 23-Jan-2004 Attempt another fix for the truncation problem that one user was still experiencing - thanks for persevering Ed. (42,888 lines of code / comments.) If this program was not downloaded from my Home Page, then it is most likely an old version. The latest version of this program is available from my Home page and its mirrors.
