A fun little app, and works great here.

When you find yourself writing pages of nearly-identical if/then, though, and if you want to use this code for teaching -- it's really time to learn the case statement:

Code:
case "$char" in
:)        colon ;;
0)        zero  ;;
1)        one   ;;
...
esac

Fancier but less-friendly code:

Code:
                if [ "$char" == ":" ]
                then
                        colon
                else
                        # Functions are named d0 through d9
                        d$char
                fi

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. 11 June 1990 CLOCK(1)
