	-------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Intro
	-------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Alarm is a digital clock that you can set to display a message and play a 
	sound at a time of your choice. It is meant to be of help when you want 
	to be warned while you are working (and chances are big you are going to 
	forget you have to do this very important thing later on)...


	-------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Requirements
	-------------------------------------------------------------------------
	A file you _may_ need is the VBruntime.
	You can read about this file and download it at the BlueFive homepage at
	http://bluefive.pair.com/vbrun.htm


	-------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Installation
	-------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Automatic installation (Setup.exe).

	To uninstall:
	double-click the 'Uninstall Alarm' icon in the Start menu, or go to
	Control Panel/"Add/Remove Programs" select Alarm and click "Remove".


	-------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Usage
	-------------------------------------------------------------------------
	No need for explanations, I'm sure you will know what to do with it...
	
	A few tips: 
	
	[] Type CTRL-P to quickly show the 'Preferences' window. 

	[] Press the ESCape key to quit the 'Full screen' alert. (Or 
	   double-click somewhere on your screen). 

	[] Double-click the "Beep" or "Play sound" checkbox in the Prefs 
	   window to preview (actually 'prehear') the sounds. 

	[] If you don't like the siren sound (the alarm.wav in the Alarm 
	   program folder) then just replace it with another .wav file of 
	   your liking. Don't replace it with a 12 Megabyte Deep Purple song 
	   though, as this might slow things down a bit... ;-) 


	-------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Limitations 
	-------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Some people reported an "error 91" message. If you get this, it means you 
        have an outdated version of Windows Media Player, or one that is missing 
        a part (f.i. msdxm.ocx is a part of WMP that is also used by Alarm). 
        Download and install the latest version of Windows Media Player for your 
        operating system.
