- Another clock? how many are there now? but.......
-
- this one is different 8-).
-
- It opens a font independent, scaleable, wb1.x/2.xx/3.x compatible,
- window with the current time displayed in words.
- The window will alter its width according to the length of the current
- title and takes into account the font used. This does have a slight
- problem when using proportional fonts under wb2.xx and above because
- intuition returns a string length that is greater than the actual
- length it will use.
- Two menu items are also provided for author info and quit functions.
-
- This is my first program on general release for the Amiga. I have two
- other programs under developement, one of which is a Project-X clone
- which runs in a window on workbench. So far it has parallax scrolling,
- music, sound effects, multiple bullets, aliens, power-ups and huge mother
- aliens at the end of the levels, and it's fully multi-tasking. It's called
- Project-WB and should be finished by the end of Jan'93. The other program
- is due for commercial release later this year(June maybe). Can't say much
- about it at the moment I'm afraid.
-
- That's all folks......
-
-
- Thanks go to Colin "Foggy" Etwell, Melville "The Rev.Digestive" Carrie
- and Howard "68k" Manwaring for beta-testing,
- encouragement/eating all my biscuits(fat git) and technical
- help respectively.
