I am (trying) to write an init that will alert you at time x. What I need to know is, how does one really go about this? As I understand it, an 'init' is run once, at startup; correct? Does the init then install a driver into memory that watches for events, or can compare itself to the system clock? Any details would be very useful, please either post to the net or reply to me at.. reeck@lclark.bitnet -or- !tektronix!reed!lclark!reeck Dave Reeck

It lets you schedule a completion routine that gets called after a specified amount of time. It's easy to use. Make sure you read the tech notes on this manager though. Claris Corp. | Michael R.
