NAME
	mongotimer - A humongous timer or stopwatch for the terminal

SYNOPSIS
	mongotimer [[-e] [[hh:]mm:]ss]

DESCRIPTION
	mongotimer will, if no arguments are specified,
	simply display time since it started. If a time
	is specified, it will count down from that time.

	Pressing space will pause the timer/stopwatch,
	and the time be displayed in yellow will
	paused. Pressing space again will unpause the
	timer/stopwatch.

	mongotimer is designed to be fit on most screens
	and be readable from all practical distances, so
	that it can be used in place of a standard wall-
	or alarm-clock. If the font is not big enough for
	your (or if it is too large,) just change the
	font size on your terminal. If it is not the
	right colour for you, simply change the font
	colour on your terminal. ☺
