This program was originally based on experience gained while learning Postscript. I wrote the Bezier program to try to figure out how the curveto operator worked. Then, for some strange reason, I suddenly realized that the curveto had 4 control points, which is one more than a clock has. This, combined with ready source code to a clock program I'd written a while back, allowed me to make something which has turned out fairly neat. And simple. To get things rolling, do a make in this directory. This gives you a file to play with. To really get serious, do a make install, to put it into your ~/Apps directory. Then, a Find Applications from the Utilities menu of the Workspace will get its icon noticed, and you can see it in the Browser. Also, after make install runs, the executable is only 73k. Then, you could put it into /LocalApps if you like. Talk to your local system administrator if you'd like to do this, but can't. It saves space if many people want it. The code for this is freely distributed. I don't even care if you put my name in it when using it, though I really would appreciate it. I also would rather you didn't distribute this package with your name in it (unless you've added to it, of course). Please just be nice to it, OK? The one requirement I make if you are going to use it is that you run it and read the info panel. Click on the buttons at the top, and read that also. There's not much there, and I'd just like everyone to see it. Thanks. If you find new types of clocks you wish to add, contact me, and I'll include them. The directions are in the ClockView.h file.
