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.
