features of the Newton, desgined to make them more usable and 
noticable.  It lets you iconify messages, set the duration and 
frequency of the alarm sounds, and automatically ignore or iconify
certain alarms and notifications.  It also improves the snooze 
function and adds several new alarm sounds.
		

* What's in this archive?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
	There are three Newton software packages and three text files in
this archive. They are:
	* Alarmed.txt	document you're now reading. 'Nuff said.
	* Alarmed.pkg	software package you'll install on your Newton.
	* SAStuff.txt	A list of all Stand Alone products.

* Installing Alarmed and Dangerous
---------------------------------------------------------------------
	First off, you must get the Alarmed and Dangerous software package 
onto your Newton. You can do this using the Newton Connection Utility
(for Mac or Windows), the Newton Package Downloader, or the Newton Backup
Utility. See the documentaion with each of these for more information 
on installing packages with them.

* Using Alarmed and Dangerous
---------------------------------------------------------------------
	After installing Alarmed and Dangerous, it's prefs will replace
the "Alarms" prefs of the built-in  prefs app, and notifications
and alarms will have several new buttons.

	The new buttons are:  an assist button, a "Forget It" button,
and a star button.  Tapping on the assist button (the lightbulb)
will try and interpret the text using the built in Assistant. This 
is useful if you set alarms such as "Call Bill" or "Meet Jane".

	Tapping on the "Forget It" button will prevent the notification
from being shown again.  Tapping on the star button in a notification
will automatically move the alarm to the blinking star icon at the top
of the screen the next time it's shown.

	If you tap either of these buttons and decide to change your mind, 
you can go into the Alarmed & Dangerous prefs, tap the "Edit Lists" 
button, and edit the notifications that are 'forgotten'.

	For alarms, the snooze button has several new times, as well as
an "until..." selection.  This selection allows you to set a time
for the alarm to reappear.

	Tapping on the star button will bring up the same menu as the snooze
button.  After selecting a time, the alarm will be iconified  as a 
blinking star at the top of the screen until the time specified.  
Tapping on this star will open up a menu of all iconified items.

	The new prefs screen has several new options.  The alarm sound
menu has several new sounds:  "Cukoo Clock", "Buzzer", and "High
Pitched Beep".  There is a separate "Alarm Volume" setting as well.
The check box below that allows to use the system volume, or use
the Alarmed and Dangerous Volume.

	The next two items are "Alarm Duration" and "Alarm Sounds are..."
The first is used to specify how long the alarm will sound for, and
the second is how frequently the sound is played.

	Selecting "Full screen Snooze button" will make the snooze menu
pop up when any part of the alarm is tapped.
