========================================================================
       FreeWatch v1.0
========================================================================

written by Gordon Free

Freewatch is a very simple stopwatch application.  It will run under 
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT and Windows 2000.  
Heck, it might even work under Windows 3.11.  You may start as many 
instances of FreeWatch as you like/need.

Using FreeWatch should be fairly intuitive.  Click on the Start button to 
begin the timer, and then click on the Stop button to stop it.  The 
Reset button will reset the timer to zero.  The Lap button can be used to 
freeze intermediate readings while the timer continues on.  The 
current time as of when the Lap button is pushed will be displayed under 
the main time display.  After the initial press of the Lap button, 
any subsequent presses will also indicate (in parenthesis) the elapsed time 
since the previous lap press.

One other feature of FreeWatch, is the ability to control it from a DOS command 
line or batch file.  You do this via the following 
command line parameters:


 FreeWatch /start         starts the timer
 FreeWatch /stop          stops the timer
 FreeWatch /reset         resets the timer to zero
 FreeWatch /lap           takes a lap reading


Note that you may only control one instance of FreeWatch from the command line.
