Alarm Clock (ALARMCLK.EXE) requires DIGITAL.FON to be copied to the same
subdirectory in which ALARMCLK.EXE resides. This can be accomplished by doing
the following:

- Copy DIGITAL.FON from the Windows 3.0 Multimedia CD into the directory with
  ALARMCLK.EXE.

  -or-

- Expand DIGITAL.FO_ from the Windows 3.0 disks (5.25-inch 1.2 MB Disk 2,
  3.5-inch 720K Disk 3, or 5.25-inch 360K Disk 5) by typing the following from
  the Windows subdirectory MS-DOS command prompt:

        EXPAND [source drive]:\DIGITAL.FO_
        [destination drive]:\WINDOWS\DIGITAL.FON

  NOTE: The command above should be typed as one line with a space between _ and
  [destination drive]. This line is word wrapped here for readability.
