# 1. Introduction

SandUhr is an alarm clock, which is shaped like a sand glass. One may choose one of several possible alarm actions, e.g. it is possible to automatically play a sound file when the alarm time is reached. This program is useful for people which, like me, tend to forget the time when sitting in front of a computer. It helps them to produce properly timed tea anyway.

The program uses (and requires) the GNOME desktop environment. Thus it needs the X Window System to operate. I built parts of it with the help of the Glade interface builder (see glade.gnome.org) and the GTK+ object builder (see http://www.5z.com/jirka/gob.html).

SandUhr is free software and comes without any warranty. For details see Section 6.

I would be glad to receive any comment on my program, especially bug reports. My email address is `<voss@mathematik.uni-kl.de>`. Your message should include the program's version number. This may be obtained from the program call sanduhr --version or may be found at the About window (the right mouse button opens a window where you should choose Help->About).
