 ------------
 A TSR(Terminate and stay resident) program designed to display a set      
 amount of elapsed time. It's purpose is to allow an electronic court      
 reporter to keep track on the amount of time has gone by on a cassette    
 tape without having to babysit the recording equipment.                  
                                                                           
 Usage:                                                                    
 ------
 The command line is as follows:                                           

    tpecount X Y tapesize

  X - is the vertical position of the timer
  Y - is the horizontal position of the timer                                
  tapesize - is the size of one side of your tape, use 45 for a 90        
  minute tape.                                                             
                                                                           
  tpecount 10 24 45 works well with word perfect while using a 90 minute tape.
    
                                                                           
  You will want to invoke tapecount from a batch file before starting the   
  the application you need the timer in.                                  
                                                                          
  Make a batch file called wp-timer.bat  that looks like this:            
                                                                          
  c:\tpecount.exe 10 24 45                                           
  c:\wp51\wp.exe                                                           

  this assumes you have unziped tpecount.exe to the root dir of you c:,
  you can put it anywhere you'd like.

  Then use wp-timer to invoke Word Perfect

  While the timer is running you will notice that programs, such as    
  word perfect, will write to the screen and cover up your timer . The    
  key stroke needed to refresh your timer is "left shift + left alt + 1".   
                                                                          
  Should you need to reset the timer to 0 the key stroke needed is        
  "left shift + left alt + 2".                                               
                                                                       
  Disclaimer / License
