Cyno's DigiClock is a platform-independent digital clock display. It display the current day, date, and time. It is resource conserving; update once per minute. It is both a Java application and a Java applet. It can run within a standalone window on any operating system, which support Java and a graphic user interface (GUI). It can run in the Java AppletViewer. Or it can run on a Internet web site.
I was inclined to writing this program because I just upgraded from OS/2 Warp 3 to Warp 4. I found that with the release of a built-in clock in WarpCenter, the standalone clock has been stripped away from the package. Since I do not use the WarpCenter, I was left without a clock. Frustrated without a clock on my screen to keep me from staying up till 6 in the morning, I decided I would write a clock myself. With a Windows 95 installation on my spare hard drive, and a Macintosh Powerbook, I wanted to be able to run the clock on all future version of OS/2, Windows 95, NT, Mac OS, or whatever OS out there. Plus, it would be nice to have it on my web site.
And the rest is history.
Cyno's DigiClock requires a computer capable of running a Java platform 1.1 or higher. The Java Runtime Environment or Java Development Kit must be installed. Various free Java virtual machines are available on the Internet.
