DClock is a Digital Clock program for the Amiga. You need OS2.04+ for this program to work. The installation is very easy: Simply drag the DClock icon to the WBStartup drawer. DClock can also be started with a doubleclick on it's icon or via the CLI. If DClock immediately returns after startup, check whether you have Kickstart V37+ reqtools.library V38+ a public screen called 'Workbench' enough free memory While the DClock window is active, you can chose the following menu items: Snapshot Position: Save the window's current position to ENVARC:DClock.prefs Foreground Color : Set the foreground (text) color Background Color : Set the background color (who would have guessed...) Seconds (toggle) : Display seconds on/off Alarm on (toggle): Turn alarm function on/off Timer on (toggle): Turn timer function on/off Set alarm clock : Set the alarm time Set timer : Set the timer Save Preferences : Save all the settings to S:DClock.prefs About... : Information about me ;) Quit : Call the Terminator When you select `Save Preferences' or `Snapshot Position' from the Project menu, the state of the alarm clock will be saved, too. The alarm will then be automatically turned on after start- up (if it was on when you saved the prefs, off course).

Advantage: Clock and timer won't be stopped tem- porarily while a window/requester is open. You can get informed now when the timer/alarm went off while a window/requester is open. o Bug: The alarm and timer symbols were drawn with incorrect offsets, so that the display got mes- sed if big screen fonts were used. o The settings are now stored in ENVARC:DClock.prefs You can copy your old DClock.prefs file from S: to ENVARC: if you want to use your old settings.
