Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The cntdwn package provides three sets of timers:

1.  A short countdown (or count up) to an event. (Short 
being defined as less than a day.) The short countdown 
is designed for talks or presentations. There are three 
notification times, to announce to the speaker and 
audience that time is running out.
2. A long countdown to an event in the (distant) future. 
There are three notifications up to the main event (when 
counter reaches 0 seconds), and three notifications 
following 0 seconds. 
3. Clock counters. The cntdwn package allows you to 
create a clocks that display time and date. Clocks can 
show local time or time in any foreign time zone.
