SC_Timer is a kind of count-down timer which is especially convenient for session chairs in conferences who need to manage their
speakers. It offers a big white count-down display that you can make as big as your screen, for the speaker to see. It will turn
yellow -say- ten minutes before time is over, then turn red five minutes before the end. When the presentation time is over, it will
display a big red flashing "Off". Alternatively, the timer can be set to count up (from 0 to programmed time) instead of down.

There is also a regular clock in the upper right corner that tells you the current time.

Of course, the program is really a general count-down timer, and you can use it for all your count-down needs!

SC_Timer is fully written in Ada. It can be used as a not-too-complicated example of using Ada, GtkAda (the Glade project file is
included in the source distribution), tasking, and tasking with GtkAda!

SC_Timer is available from Adalog's free programs page at http://www.adalog.fr/progs2.htm. It is distributed as source or
ready-to-go executable for Linux and Windows.

Enjoy!
