Note : modified slightly to get rid of bug : Mar1995
My greatest invention yet, this little beauty has a
number of functions. It sits on the iconbar, a tiny
animated hand swinging round. The hand's speed gives
some idea of the free processor time, eg when a
ray tracer is doing its stuff.
The application's icon accepts input from the three
mouse buttons.
MENU button ⇨
Allows you to quit (unlikely) or view the
astonishing INFO box.
SELECT button ⇨
The time window.
(a) ⇨ The time of day, eg Breakfast.
(b) ⇨ The time in 24 hour clock style English, eg
23 hundred hours and 10 minutes.
(c) ⇨ The rough time in English,eg quarter to twelve.
ADJUST button ⇨
The date window.
(a) ⇨ The title bar of this error box contains this
date's starsign.
(b) ⇨ The date in English. This will also comment if
the year seems wildly innacurate, ie your clock is
boogered cos the batteries are flat.
(c) ⇨ Some interesting or boring facts about this
date in history, eg the Romans invaded.
(d) ⇨ The number of days until Christmas if in
December.
Brilliant or what? Brought to you with a lot of
hard work by the RAJ,

Research and testing ⇨ I found many of the facts
from books such as the Oxford book of dates, a very
good concise guide to history. The software has been
tested on an A3010 with RO3 in all screen modes.
I am sure it will work under RO2. If it contains
some horrendous bugs, please contact me.
Further improvements ⇨
I may enhance the iconbar animation for multi
sync owners. There is already a !sprites22 file
which displays a hi-res mode 27 icon for the filer
window.
I may also change the time and date boxes into
proper windows instead of making calls to the error
handler.
