CED Common Era Day number -- number of a day, counting since January 1st, 1 AD, that was day 1, then January 2nd was day 2 and so on, using the Julian calendar (years divisible by 4 are all leap), up till 1582/10/4 (CED 577737), when the counting scheme switched to the Gregorian calendar and day 1582/10/15 (CED 577738) followed. Such enumeration was chosen to eliminate negative numbers and to have somewhat natural scheme. 1858/11/16 Tue CED 678577 = Julian Day Number (JDN) 2400000 (the difference is 1721423)
Extract files w10clk.exe, w10clk.htm and w10clk.ini from w10clk.zip to some directory. For example, to C:\Program Files\W10clock. Also w10clk needs cygwin-64 run-time library, cygwin1.dll. If you don't have it in your computer, download that file too (from cygwin site or from this archive) and put it together with the other w10clk files. You can have several clock programs — in different directories or in the same directory with different names. The matter is that the exe file looks for its ini file using its name. So for example, you can have the main clock with the files named w10clk.* and screen saver with names w10clkss.*. Also you can have sections for different instances in the same ini file (see below in Configuration). Create a shortcut to the main program (e.g. drag-and-drop w10clk.exe to your desktop with the right button, choose 'create shortcut', move it to the start menu if you wish). You can make it start automatically when the Windows starts, using the registry or scheduler (more detail to follow). For setting up the screen saver, continue reading.
You can also set up the program as a screen saver. Copy the executable to some other file with extension .scr, e.g. w10clkss.scr. Copy or create config file for it, it must be named after the scr file, in our case — w10clkss.ini. For example:
[window] bg=0,0,0 ; good choice ticks=12,80,80,80 ; make ticks and hands thick shand=6,80,80,80 mhand=12,80,80,80 hhand=24,80,80,80 lengths=8,84,84,58 resizable=no ontop=yes
Then right-click on the scr file and choose Install. It will also start at once. Press 'q' to stop it. It has no usual config dialog, like other screen savers, all the setup is done in the ini file. Sorry for that, maybe some time I'll fix it... Anyway, it'll serve as a screen saver. To exit it, press 'q', no other ways work. Moreover, all of the clock functions work there in the screen saving mode — date and time conversions, stopwatch, calculations, etc.
The program reads all its settings from config files. First it tries to read file with the same name as the program has, plus extension '.ini'. That is, if you rename the program to w10myclk.exe, it will read from file w10myclk.ini. And the settings section must have the same name, that is [w10myclk] (the letter case of file names and names inside the ini files doesn't matter). If the program can't find such file, it looks for file with name w10clk.ini. So you can have different setting for different programs in one or several files. If the ini file or suitable section inside it is not found, all the settings will have defaults. Colors can be written as three decimal colors r,g,b (values 0 to 255) or as hexadecimal value #rrggbb. Time zones are defined in tz setting, e.g.: tz=PST -8 GMT +0 CET +1 (the letter case doesn't matter, plus sign can be omitted, all is divided by blanks). To set chime for every hour or half-hour, use options bell and halfbell. Their values can be 1) full path to the wav sound file (e.g. D:\Users\John\Music\tada.wav); 2) short name, like BigBen.wav -- it'll be searched first in the directory where w10clk was installed, and if not found, in directory %SystemRoot%\Media, most often it's C:\Windows\Media; 3) system sound, specified by one of words: Default, Asterisk, Welcome, Start, Exit, Question, Exclamation, Hand (case-insensitive). Also you can specify voice files for talking clock: option voice must set a directory with voice files (it's relative to the program directory). The voice directory must have file voice.txt, in which the first 24 lines describe exact hours, the next 24 lines describe half-hours (better see examples that are provided with the program). Please read the ini file provided — it has short explanations for all settings.
