Description
-----------
Provides a countdown timer in a small moveable window.
It displays the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds to go to the
countdown time in the form ###, ##:##:## (Day, Hour:Minute:Second).


How to use
----------
'select-Drag' moves the ZeroHour window around.

To set a distant countdown time, just open the ZeroHour menu and open the
'Zero hour' window and enter the desired date and time.

Alternatively, if you want the countdown time to be fairly soon, open the
'Quick timer' window and enter the desired number of hours and minutes to
the countdown time.

When ZeroHour is run it will resume the previously saved countdown time
and automatically continue the countdown.  If the 'Start timer' option is
ticked, the timer will also be automatically started.
