clock

CLOCK(1)						      General Commands Manual							  CLOCK(1)

NAME

       clock - display the time in an icon or window

SYNOPSIS

       clock

AVAILABILITY

       This command is available with the OpenWindows environment.  For information about installing OpenWindows, refer to the OpenWindows Instal-
       lation and Start-Up Guide.

DESCRIPTION

       clock is an OpenWindows XView utility that displays the current time in a window or icon. When the window is open, clock  can  display  the
       time in	either analog or digital format.  The clock window is scalable in either format.

USAGE

       When  the  clock  window  is open, it has a floating menu from which you can bring up a property window.  From this property sheet, you can
       modify the display of the tool by selecting either the Analog or Digital choice box.
	      Seconds:
		     On the analog version, this selection starts a second hand on the face of the clock. On the digital version, it adds two dig-
		     its to the digital readout.
	      Date:
		     Turns on a date display for both analog and digital versions of clock.

BUGS

       If  you	reset the system time, clock will not reflect the new time until you change its window state from open to icon, or vice versa.	To
       reset the system time, see date (1V).

       The date display does not go well with the round clock face.

       Occasionally, when clock is uncovered, the face will be visually corrupted. Use the Refresh button from the frame menu to repair.
