                  ---- INSTALLATION ----

To install TipClock, load the file tipclock.prc 
onto your Palm computer.


                 ---- USING TIPCLOCK ----

View the file tipclock.html for complete instructions.
Select Menu-Options-Help for a brief overview.

On the Setup screen, first enter the tip you would leave 
if the server brought you your check immediately.  
You can enter this as a percentage or a dollar amount.  
Then you can enter a "grace period", giving the server,
say, 5 minutes during which he'll still get the same tip, 
or enter 0 minutes if you want the tip to start decreasing
immediately.  Next enter the reduced tip, and the time after
which the server will get the reduced tip.

TipClock will calculate the tip so that it gradually 
decreases from end of the grace period to the final time.  
If you wish, you can also enter the total bill, so that 
TipClock can easily switch between showing the tip percentage 
and the tip dollar amount.

Now press "Go" and the clock starts ticking!

While the clock is ticking, you can press "Pause" to 
temporarily stop the clock, or "Stop" to go back to the 
Setup screen.

On the Setup screen, you can select Menu-Edit-Save to save
the current settings.  These settings will be restored when 
you press the "Reset" button.
