- Introduction
-
- NISClock is a small clock program that displays the time and date
- on the active public screen. Locale.library is used to format the
- time and the date that you define. The text of your choosing (the
- time by default) is displayed in a small window that matches the
- screen's title-bar colour, or as a screen gadget button look-alike.
- A mouse click on the window will display a second text (usually the
- date).
-
- The E-Clock timer is used to time the update intervals so that
- the time is always updated even if the clock is adjusted backwards.
-
- NISClock is written in C, and compiled with SAS/C 6.58.
-
- Screen Notification
-
- NISClock can make use of Stephan Becker's screennotify.library which
- patches a few intuition.library functions so that the clock will
- automatically close its window if the Public screen that it inhabits
- is closed by another program. If NISClock is on the Workbench screen,
- it will be notified of the close and opening of the Workbench screen
- by IPrefs for a preferences change or by any other program which calls
- CloseWorkbench(). The window will then not open until OpenWorkbench()
- is called.
-
- Other Options
-
- Other options include window position, justification of the text within
- the window, a specified amount of time (seconds) to update the clock
- display, and the ability to avoid certain public screens.

- Requirements
-
- NISClock has the following simple requirements:
-
- - Amiga OS V37 (2.04). Uses V39 features if present.
- - locale.library.
- - RECOMMENDED: screennotify.library by Stephan Becker. See
- 'Installation' for more information on screennotify.library.
- - NISClock must be run from the Workbench; perfect for the WBStartup
- drawer.
