- RSLClock is a superficially simple little utility that "runs"
- unobtrusively at the end of the screen title bar. The "close" gadget
- and "window to front/back" gadgets are there, but they are hidden from view!
- There it sits, indicating both the currently free memory, the time, and once
- a minute, the date. It also "pops up" to the front of the Workbench screen,
- once every minute. If you would like military time you can run the program
- with "Run RSLClock long" it will then read out 12 hour time in AM/PM type
- (hours & minutes), otherwise the default setting is Hours:minutes in 12 hour
- style.
- SYNTAX:
- LONG (this will toggle military 24 hour time with HH:MM:SS style)
- BACK (this will create a "backdrop" black screen that can be toggled
- in/out by using left-Amiga N/M keys - use it to hide
- current screen)
- NOPOPUP (this disables the feature to pop clock window to front of
- workbench screen at the beginning of every minute)
- [disk drive] (i.e. DF1: this will indicate the number of free Kbytes
- on indicated disk drive, re-evaluated once every minute!)
- [# Kbytes before emergency shutdown] (i.e. 25 this will shut down
- this utility and reclaim the memory if your system's free
- memory falls below this point, default is 10 Kbytes!)
- ? (this will display syntax)

- I know that there already is an abundance of "clock" programs, but this
- is optimized for my own needs. I hope that others find it useful!
- I would like to thank Addison-Wesley, without whose ROM Kernal books,
- I would still be using my C compiler to compile "Hello there!" type programs.
- Please feel free to use this utility and distribute it freely.
- Feel free to comment, suggest, compliment, and disparage, as you wish!
- Happy Hacking!
