Short: CLI based stopwatch program Author: johnl@crash/cts/com (John Lindwall) Uploader: br103 city ac uk (Nick Ridley) Type: os20/cli Architecture: m68k-amigaos Quick Description ================= ShellTimer is a multitasking-friendly shell-based stopwatch program. It is useful when you need to measure the amount of time taken by an operation. With this simple shell command you can start a timer and later stop it; the elapsed time will be displayed. ShellTimer can be useful to time compile/link operations, renderings, program executions, script files, etc. Since it is shell-based, the command can be invoked from AmigaDOS scripts, from Arexx macros, from makefiles, or interactively. ShellTimer does not run from WorkBench. The ShellTimer system (which includes the programs ShellTimerDaemon and ShellTimer) is released into the Public Domain by the author, John Lindwall. I ask that the archive be kept intact with the docs and the source code. Bug reports should be sent to me at johnl@crash.cts.com or the address above. Source code is included. The compiler I use is SAS/C 5.10b. My editor is TurboText. My machine is an A1000 with 2.75MB RAM and an 80 MB hard disk. Requirements ============ ShellTimer and ShellTimerDaemon require AmigaDOS 2.04. The programs make use of features specific to this OS version, including local shell environment variables, ReadArgs(), AllocVec(), CreateMsgPort(), and System(). The programs could be modified to run under 1.3, but I don't have the inclination.
