Description:

!iicAlarm uses the functions of the standard Archimedes clock-chip PFC8583.
It allows setting an alarm-time and switching an alarm-line at that time.
Using a small circuit, this alarmline can be used to switch on/off the
computer, allowing to start programs without the user at a given time
automatically.
I use the abilities of the !Alarm-Application (in RiscOs 3.xx) to manage all
time-events, since it is in ROM, performs all operations very nice and can
handle task-alarms.
