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!
