The segmented way you are relative to a segment which only uses half a register. You can take advantage of this half register (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

I'm looking for a simple timer program. What I want is a simple timer that will time rounds (as in boxing) to use when I work out at home.
