The Clinton Countdown Clock
(for Windows and DOS)
(C) 1994 Jeremy Lilley
All Rights Reserved
You may have seen some other "Clinton" programs around that
give how many days are left of the Clinton regime (including a DOS
program that I wrote anonymously about a year ago). This program,
however, is the ULTIMATE! It counts down by the second, accounting
for daylight savings time and time zones across the U.S. !!! It is
a Windows program and you can have it in the corner of your screen
to remind you that there *will* be an end of Clinton. A
non-sophisticated DOS version is also on the same EXE. Once you
get it running, set the time zone (it will automatically assume
daylight savings time in summer, so it may appear to be an hour
slow - but it isn't slow, the times should be right).
Please send me $10 if you like this program! It is easy
just to keep this program on your desktop, forgetting and putting
off sending in the $10, so please send it as soon as possible.
Support the anti-Clinton, anti-Socialist movement! Thanks.

AS AN ADDED BONUS:
If you have an HP 48G/GX calculator (definitely worth the
money, IMO), here's a Clinton program that you can put on it (sorry,
it won't work on the SX) if you want to get the count of days of
Clinton "on the run." The number of days will not be the same as
CLINTCC.EXE gives because this calls the first day "DAY 1" (rather
than "0 Days, 0 Hours, 0 Minutes, 2 Seconds" into the administration)
and it doesn't account for time zones/12:00 PM innauguration. Thus,
it might be a difference of up to 2 days.
<< DATE 1.201997 DDAYS 1 - DUP SIGN
IF -1 ==
THEN NEG ->STR
" DAYS SINCE CLINTON"
+ CLLCD MSGBOX
ELSE ->STR
" DAYS LEFT OF CLINTON"
+ "DAY " DATE
1.201997 DDAYS 1 -
1461 - NEG ->STR +
" OF THE RAW DEAL... "
+ SWAP + CLLCD MSGBOX
END >>
P.S. If you want to make your HP play music through its speaker,
it's possible! Just program in the frequencies (middle C is 523,
D 587, E 659, F 698, G 784, A 880, B 988; every octave is twice
the frequency i.e. high C 1046) and the lengths (quarter note is
about .33 seconds), and use the BEEP function (523 .5 BEEP plays
middle C for half a second). It's quite an attention-getter!
