I had put this into an obey file for the machine to see on
boot up but it makes no difference (it used to)...

Set Alarm$Options -timeout |"10|" -weekwork 62 -format
|"%z24:%mi %zdy%zst|"

I've got RO 4.39. Anyone know what's going on?

There was some change or other with 4.39 (now explained by
Richard Porter, I see). But may I suggest you change from !Alarm
to Rosemary Miskin's !RPCInfo which is much neater and also
displays several other useful things. Available at:

http://miskin.orpheusweb.co.uk/

Thanks for the suggestion, but I use Alarm's ability to have alarms.
Otherwise RPCInfo is a neat program, I've used it before.

Cheers,
