+ This is Version 1.4.  New features over 1.3:
+   - Ability to control the ButtonBeeps without resetting them from the PC
+   - 'Return to time mode' tone
+   
+2. Usage Instructions
+ There are four functions in Numpad:
+
+ NUMPAD: A simple wristapp that allows the recording "on the fly" 
+    of three numbers, of 12 digits each.
+
+    Keys:
+     MODE: Exit and advance to next Numpad
+     NEXT: Increment Digit
+     PREV: Decrement Digit
+     SET : Cursor Advance
+     GLOW: Cursor Back (Indiglo is disabled in this mode, but Night mode works)
+    
+    Note: The numbers are lost every time the WristApp is uploaded. 
+
+ CHRONO: A Simple Stopwatch. In addition to the usual functions,
+        there is a Countdown timer that will beep every N minutes, if it is set.
+
+    Keys:
+     MODE: Switch to Numpad 
+     NEXT: Start/Stop Chronometer
+     PREV: Enter/Leave Split mode. 
+           If pressed while chronometer is stopped, reset to 0
+           If pressed while chronometer is set to 0, reset the Countdown Timer
+           If pressed while Timer is reset, toggle Chronometer Alarm and ButtonBeeps ON/OFF
+     SET : Reset chronometer to 0, and continue in same mode
+           If pressed while chronometer is set to 0, advance the Countdown value by 1
+           (Keep pressed to advance quickly)    
+     GLOW: Indiglo is enabled in this mode
+
+ WEEKLY: This is an invisible function, which affects the way the alarms are handled by 
+        the watch. 
+
+        Each alarm has an 8-character text field associated with it. Weekly uses the 
+        last (8th) character in that field to automatically set the alarms ON and OFF, 
+        allowing for a weekly schedule.
+
+        To use WEEKLY, set your alarms to DAILY, and set the last digit of the alarm text
+        to one of the following values:
+
+            0 - Ring on Weekdays only
+            1 - Ring on Mondays only
+            2 - Tuesdays
+            .
+            .
+            7 - Sundays 
+            8 - Weekends
+            9 - Do not adjust
+
+        Any non-numeric values in the field have the same result as 9.
+        Alarms are adjusted using the current timezone (1 or 2).
+
+        When setting alarms ON or OFF manually, please note: If the 8th digit in the
+        TEXT field is 0 through 8, your setting will be reset as soon as you return to 
+        TIME mode. This is not a bug, but the way the program functions. 
+
+ CORRECTBEEP: 
+        There is a bug in the Timex ROM. The manual for the watch reads:
+
+          <<ALARM MODE - PRESS PREVIOUS (to) Cycle thru Alarm and Hourly Chime arm/disarm.>>
+
+        But this is not what happens. When arming/disarming the hourly Chime, the Button 
+        Beeps are also armed/disarmed regardless of the user's setting in the upload program.
+        The CorrectBeep code fixes this, and causes the watch to behave as described in the 
+        documentation. (The ButtonBeeps will not be corrected until the watch  returns 
+        to TIME mode).
+
+        The user can control the ButtonBeeps using the Previous button in the 'Chrono' mode
+        (see above). When the ButtonBeeps are set, the tone symbol is displayed in Chrono mode.
+          
+3. Program Versions
+ In response to various requests, there are 4 versions of the software available:
+
+   NUMPAD-A.ZAP - The standard application. When the watch returns to TIME mode, it will
+                  always beep (regardless of the ButtonBeeps setting).
+   NUMPAD-B.ZAP - The standard application. When the watch returns to TIME mode, it will
+                  beep only if ButtonBeeps are set ON.
+   NUMPAD-C.ZAP - A new feature has been added: Chime Control. The hourly Chime will be
+                  turned OFF from 8pm through 8am, and ON for the rest of the day. Currently
+                  the only way to change the ON/OFF hours is to alter and recompile the 
+                  provided source code. Use the Alarm screen to control ButtonBeeps.
+                  Requested by a Datalink user, who likes the chime, but whose wife does not!
+   NUMPAD-D.ZAP - As above, but with the WEEKLY function disabled for those who do 
+                  not need it. The ButtonBeep control functions are present
+
+4. Installation.
+  4a) Users of Datalink software 2.1D and later:
+    a) Copy the .ZAP files provided in this extract into the APP subdirectory of your Timex
+       directory.
+
+    d) Restart TimexDL and select the wristapp you wish to upload.
+
+  4b) Users of Datalink software 2.1C and earlier:
+    a) In your Timex Software Directory, locate the file TIMEXDL.DAT, and edit it
+
+    b) Look for the [WristApps] Section. Increment the WristAppTotal count, and add
+       new lines for Numpad below. This is an example of what the section may look like
+       after you are done:
+                [WristApps]
+                WristAppTotal=9
+                SelectedWristApp=7
+                WristAppSendOption=True
+                WristApp000=CHRONO12.ZAP
+                WristApp001=WKSUSA11.ZAP
+                WristApp002=WKSISO11.ZAP
+                WristApp003=TIMER13.ZAP
+                WristApp004=QUICK13.ZAP
+                WristApp005=NOTE13.ZAP
+                WristApp006=MELODY17.ZAP
+                WristApp007=NUMPAD-A.zap
+                WristApp008=NUMPAD-D.zap
+
+    c) Copy the .ZAP files provided in this extract into the APP subdirectory of your Timex
+       directory.
+
+    d) Restart TimexDL and select the wristapp you wish to upload.  
+
+5. Known Bugs. 
+  5a) If you set an Alarm for 0:00 (midnight), the Weekly feature will treat it as if though
+    it was set for the night before. So, 0:00 Tuesday morning, is really treated as 
+    24:00 Monday night.
+  5b) When you finish downloading the app, there will be some garbage characters in the COMM 
+    mode screen. Nothing to worry about.
+  
+6. About the Source Code
+   You can modify and recompile the source code using the compiler found at John Toebes'
+   pages (http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/7650/). The source code in this version 
+   will not compile as-is, because the total size of the code for all the features exceeds
+   the Datalink's 742 byte limitation. 
+   
+   The source code for Numpad 1.0 was much better organized and documented that the code for
+   this version. In order to conserve memory, I had to use every trick that would save me one
+   byte here and another byte there. I'll be glad to explain any code segment to anyone 
+   interested in making improvements.
+
+   If you do create something interesting using Numpad as your starting point, please release
+   it to the public with the source code, so that we all benefit. Please provide proper 
+   attribution for the code you reused. 
+
+
+Enjoy!
