- - About the Swatch program
-
- The Swatch company has created a new way of measuring time, called 'Internet
- Time'. A day in internet time is divided into 1000 Swatch beats, each 1
- minute 26.4 seconds long, counting from @000, which marks midnight BMT (Biel
- Mean Time, named for the home city of Swatch in Switzerland).
-
- For more information, visit Swatch at: http://www.swatch.com/internettime
-
- To configure Swatch, choose your timezone and indicate whether Daylight
- Savings Time (DST) is in effect in your area.
-
- The converter is accessed from the 'Convert' menu option. Change either the
- standard or the Internet time, and the other will be automatically adjusted.

- If you like Swatch, check out SwatchHack. SwatchHack is a shareware ($5)
- HackMaster module that changes Palm system time to Swatch Internet Time in
- the DateBook, Application launcher, etc.

- Swatch was written and compiled on-board a Palm III using Quartus Forth.
- It's a freeware demonstration of Quartus' ability to produce tight, fast,
- stand-alone apps.
