Duh ....

If it requires visual basic, then it's not a good suggestion of freeware
when the job it does is so simple as to not need visual basic.

Also, if it requires visual basic, it should SAY SO during the
installation, should it not?

And, if it requires visual basic, then it should provide a link to that in
the installation process.

Something this simple should NOT require a README just to install.

Here is what is in the README.

===[Installation]==============================================
- No install. Just extract these files to any folder and make a
shortcut to Timer.exe.
- If you are upgrading over a previous version and had custom
wav files, be sure to back them up so they aren't overwritten!


===[Requirements]==============================================
- Visual Basic v5.0 SP3 runtime files, available at my website.

If it needs VB just to count a timer - it's a bona fide freeware fail.
