A.D.D. Timer Readme File
The A.D.D. Timer is a simple timer that is launched using a shortcut that 
contains both the path to the executable and the path to the configuration 
file. The timer settings allow you to customize the message that is displayed 
when the time has elapsed, whether or not to autostart and if you want the 
the message spoken using the built in text to speech engine.

Development Details
The application is written in C# using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and 
the .Net libraries. One of the goals during the development is to stay within 
the .Net framework as much as possible. Every effort has been made to avoid 
calling the Win32 API. There should also be no dependencies on libraries the 
average developer cannot obtain freely. 
The help file was written using Microsoft HTML Help Workshop. This is a free 
tool that usually gets installed with Visual Studio. HTML Help Workshop is also 
available for free download from Microsoft. Any HTML editor, including notepad 
can be used to edit the HTML pages. The current set was developed using Eclipse 
with the Aptana plugin.

Building ADDTimer
You can build ADDTimer using Visual Studio 2008 or later. NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net)
is used to generate the installer packages. See the usage note in the *.nsi file included
in the source code. If you follow the build checklist that's included
with this project you should be able to build ADDTimer.

Contact Developer
The best way to contact the developer is by this projects website at http://addtimer.sourceforge.net/ . While there you can email the developer directly, give a review of the application, request a feature or report a bug.
