                  A Freeware clock for use with MultiTOS


Requirements:
-------------

ST/TT/Falcon running MultiTOS.
TOS 1.4 recommended.


Features:
---------

o  Works in any resolution
o  Switchable digital/analogue clock
o  Sizeable window
o  Window gadgets can be switched on and off
o  Settings and position/size of window can be saved
o  Loads your settings at startup.


Background:
-----------

This program came about because I got really annoyed with the clock
supplied with MultiTOS. Size it small and you'll see what I mean.
Totally unusable. Also, while a second hand with two second update is
all very well, it does cause the mouse pointer to flicker irritatingly.

I then saw the clock supplied with TeraDesk, and liked the way it worked
well at small sizes. Unfortunately, it is somewhat short on frills (like
a sizer on the window!), so I decided to write my own, and added feat-
ures like a digital clock as an alternative to the analogue face, the
option to turn off window gadgets, and the ability to save the setup.


Usage:
------

Double click on CLOCK.PRG. Unless you have previously altered the start
settings, the clock will start up in analogue mode.

The options on the menu bar are as follows:

Load settings ...:      Load previously saved settings. Select the des-
                        ired .SET file in the normal way from the file
                        selector.

Save start settings:    Saves the current settings into the CLOCK.SET
                        file, which is read when Clock+ is started.

Save settings as ...:   Saves the current settings into a .SET file.
                        Enter the name in the normal way with the file
                        selector.

Quit:                   Obvious.

Analogue:               Switches the clock into analogue mode.

Digital:                Switches the clock into digital.

Window ...:             Allows you to switch the window gadgets: spec-
                        ifically the closer, title bar, fuller and
                        sizer. You can switch any or all of them on or
                        off.

There are several preset setups supplied:

ALLGDGTS.SET            Analogue with all the gadgets turned on.
DEFAULT.SET             The one you get if you have not altered the
                        startup.
DIGITAL.SET             Small digital with mover bar.
TINY.SET                Extremely small analogue clock with mover bar.


Known problems:
---------------

When used with TOS v1.2 or 1.0, if you click outside dialogue boxes
(i.e. the About box, the fileselector or the Window box) the system will
crash. As far as I can make out, this is a generic MultiTOS problem that
affects all programs (well, it does say in the manual that TOS 1.4 is
recommended ...).


Further developments:
---------------------

In Clock+ 2.0, I would like to have an alarm function, and the ability to
set the system time by dragging the clock hands.
