 1. Overview 
-------------
   XNote Stopwatch is a tiny desktop stopwatch utility to measure time periods
 in decimal seconds, seconds, minutes and hours. The main features are:
    - Ability to snap the time at any moment of counting up. The gap between
      the previous noted time and its percentage weight is calculated. The whole
      list of results can be copied to the Clipboard.
    - System-wide redefinable hotkeys. You can start, stop, reset the stopwatch
      and snap the time within any application, XNSW doesn't need to be the
      active window.
    - 5 different formats for representing decimal seconds:
        1. 1/100 seconds;
        2. completed quantity of 24 TV frames;
        3. completed quantity of 25 TV frames;
        4. rounding towards the nearest second;
        5. truncating;
      Converting among these formats is lossless and can be carried out at any
      moment.
    - Ability to save and load the time counting session including all noted
      results;
    - Ability to set the custom time. This means to rewind the stopwatch forward
      or back. All misplaced results are deleted.
   XNSW has a digital display like real stopwatches and clocks. Moreover, XNSW
 can be resized to achieve your preferable size of digits and even be switched
 to a compact state, in which it doesn't show controls and stays on top of your
 desktop.
   XNote Stopwatch has small size, minimal memory usage and high-performance
 program code.
