Sillies/!RiksClock/!readme
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Rough Clock for the Arc!! If you are anything like me and always trying to squeeze every last ounce of speed out of you arc then this is for you. It gives you a friendly clock but only gets polled every minute. It only gives an estimate of the time but I never need to know the time to the nearest second anyway. If you don't like where it starts (some people seem to want it to start at the top of the screen) then just edit the template file. The window will open where ever it was when the template was saved. It also possible to change the window colour to suit etc (even set it to have no bounds). It can also be used to remind you of important or unimportant things by adding if statements into the function PROCspecial. All in all, its a jolly jolly program, if a bit badly written! Any probs then mail me (address in !help file). TTFN Rik
