Amiga World's review of Cltd's Timesaver clock-calendar/macro gizmo
was quite favorable, but I'd like to get a second (third...) opinion on
it.
The method of setting the date (send a ctrl-D, followed by DATE, and
"Execute startup-sequence" when the keyboard is reset) seems like kludge,
and I'm wondering how it works with things like VD0: that insist on
being the first thing in the startup-sequence.
Besides VD0: how does it work with Conman? Is Conman completely
redundant with Timesaver installed? Are there any conflicts with ANY
programs? What if DATE and EXECUTE don't happen to be on a disk (a copy
protected game for example), does Timesaver cause the s-s to die?
I hope that it does work since Timesaver sounds like it would be a nice
addition to my system, but I won't give up VD0: for anything!
