With a company name like Whistling Cow, are you really serious about your software?  I need a product I can rely on.

What are the minimum system requirements needed to effectively run KronoLog?

How does your program generate invoices and what does it do that is different from other programs like Time Slips (TM)?

How do I save and view images or objects in KronoLog?

Yes, KronoLog makes it easier for you to get paid for your time. The only way to really understand how this works is to actually try it for a few days. Basically, you keep track of information with a minimum of effort as you are engaged in an activity and then you can use KronoLog's invoicing option to automatically itemize your billable time in form suitable for sending by email or in printed form. To see how you can create an invoice from scratch in less than one minute, check this out.

Minimum system requirements: The minimum system requirements for the effective operation of KronoLog is 256 MEG RAM, Chip speed of 1200 Mhz, and 1 Gigabyte of hard drive space.  This product has been verified to work on Microsoft's Windows 98 (both editions) and Windows XP (home and professional).

Generating invoices: Quite well. KronoLog has two sections in a Data entry form that describe your activities--KronoLog notes and invoice summary line. When you complete the entry of a KronoLog, the KronoLog notes section automatically generates an invoice summary line, if you have not already entered information in the summary line.  This means that KronoLogs can be tailored for output to an invoice, but still retain as much information regarding an event as you might wish, subject only to the memory and processing constraints of your computer.  Try entering more than a paragraph in the boxes allowed for this by other time management programs.

Saving and viewing objects: When you create a new Data entry form, you can paste a wide variety of objects into the KronoLog notes section.  You can paste objects such as images, text and even references to objects created by other programs.  For example, you can drag a video file (with a .avi extension) into the KronoLog notes section.  When you display the KronoLog notes section in a graphics mode ([View][Graphics] or [Ctrl][n]) and then click on the object within the displayed KronoLog notes section, KronoLog will call your system's default media viewer and play the file with the .avi extension.  Experiment.  The types of files and objects that can be pasted or dragged into the KronoLog notes section is too voluminous to list here.
