Abstinence Monitor Version 2.0

Welcome to another great edition of "Sober Calc."
In this incarnation, I've add some neat goodies.
There have been quite a few changes! So let me tell
you how to use the thing.

USING THE MONITOR:

The first time you start the program, it will
look similar to Sober Calc v1.0, but with a few
things turned around and upside-down, and a few
new areas.

Like before, you input your date in the first
fields at the top, but be sure to check out the new
menu features that will automatically calculate every
second and remeber your date.

Click the button next to the date field and you
can be more specific with your start time. Be sure
to use the 24 hours time format 00:00:00 when you
enter the time in that dialog box.

The "Customize" menu item will give you a dialog in
which you can add your "how much and how often" 
information. All of that will be remembered also.

Then you either press the calculate button, or make
sure that the "Automatic timed calculations" menu
item is checked (in the "Program" menu) and you are
all set!

FEATURES TO LOOK FOR:

You may notice that there is a little calendar icon
in your system tray area when you run the program.
When you are in automatic calculation mode, this
icon will tell you the number of days (total) plus
hours minutes and seconds elapsed since you started
your abstention. Also it displays the amount of
money you've saved since abstaining. When you minimize
the main dialog box, the button will disappear from the
task bar. Just click the icon in the tray one time to 
restore it.

FINALLY:

Thank tou for using this little program. Its first
inception was one of the first Windows programs I
ever wrote. I hope you enjoy using it. If you like it,
you are welcome to re-distribute the setup package to
anyone you think may like it also.
