KQMacro 1.2.1 for Cron 1.0d16 - November 1994

¥ Chris Johnson's Cron is an extremely versatile timer that can execute common tasks at specified times. The KQMacro application provides a link between Cron and KeyQuencer, so that Cron can execute KeyQuencer macros at specified times. You can find the Cron package at one of the following sites:

the web page http://gargravarr.cc.utexas.edu/cron/cron.html
anonymous ftp://ftp.utexas.edu/pub/mac/util
the web page http://www.utexas.edu/cc/microlib-mac/main.html

¥ The KQMacro application is a cron command, and it is only useful for people using both the Cron timer and the KeyQuencer macro engine. Drop it in the Cron folder to install it, then use it as any other Cron command (read the Cron documentation for more info).

¥ Here's a simple example that makes use of the KQMacro cron command:
KQMacro "Message 'Hi there!'" "ShowClock 'Times' wait 30" "Play 'Indigo'"
(the quotes are used by Cron to separate its parameters, so they are replaced by single quotes inside the KQ commands)

¥ Long macros can be saved as text files with the Macro Editor and launched by Cron with a command like this one:
KQMacro "Open macro sysdisk 'Long Macros:My Text Macro'"
(assuming the macro to execute is in a text macro file named "My Text Macro" inside the "Long Macros" folder on the startup disk)
