WS-Timer

WS-Timer -- WS-Timer is the easiest and most useful independent timing client available. It records time spent online to date for both the current session and for all sessions since the last reset. This is a great program for monitoring time spent on-line and comes complete with easy to use documentation. Additional features in WS-Timer include very useful calculator and calendar utilities, configurable time settings, and summary reports. Although Net Dial incorporates a timing client as well, those users not using Net Dial will quickly realize WS-Timer's value. This is especially important for users paying for access by the hour (or minute) and for users getting paid by the hour for working on-line. This client also holds the record for most updates in one day (three) :-) The recently released Windows 95 version offers several additional features but costs less than five dollars more than the comparable 3.x release. Features in this version include an application toolbar for launching up to ten of your favorite applications (a la WSTBar or ICC); a RAS dialer that allows multiple numbers and repeats; and session, daily, monthly and lifetime logging capabilities. If you're a Windows 95 or Windows NT user, this is definitely the timer client to use. Pros: Easy to use, helpful documentation, configurable time settings Cons: Timing client already incorporated into Net Dial, so Net Dial users may not need New: Windows 95 release, now shareware, new calculator and calendar utilities, more bug fixes Version Reviewed: Windows 3.x - 6.00.
