- --------
-
- RWBClock is another clock program for the Amiga. While it is true that
- there are MANY clock programs floating around for the Amiga, this one is
- different. In reality, I wrote it as the basis for another program I plan on
- releasing shortly.
-
- Why is it different? Well, mostly because I wrote it (remember, I never
- said it was better, just different). It is also different because you can set
- many display options including things such as the date and time formats, the
- font type and width, border/borderless window, blinking colon and more.
-
- Included in this archive are two fonts, flow and hpcalc, which I use
- as the defaults for the date and time displays, respectively. They help make
- this look more like a "real" digital clock.
