The DECWindows Archive - Clocks

The asclock is a clock written to emulate the date/time application on the NEXTSTEP(tm) operating system. asclock supports multiple languages, military and AM/PM time formats, program execution, and the shape extention to X-Windows.

This version of xclock is a Motif-based variant of the MIT xclock program, with an alarm feature, and a new "cat" mode, in addition to the analog and digital modes.

The current incarnation of xclock is now a Motif 1.1.1 application, and has the new "cat" mode. The cat image was based on the famous "Kit-Cat" (R) plastic wall clock, and was designed by Deanna Hohn of DEC Advanced Technology Development. The Motif interface, eyes, tails, and the general state of the program now are a product of Philip Schneider of DEC.

The dclock program displays the time in digital format only. The time is updated on a per second basis or on a per minute basis. This program is nothing more than a wrapper around the dclock widget not associated with any particular widget set. Re-release with VSM Alpha binaries (old VAX binaries are always here)

sunclock is an X11 application that displays a map of the Earth and indicates the illuminated portion of the globe by drawing sunlit areas dark on light, night areas as light on dark. It also displays the current date and time. Re-release with Alpha VMS binaries (old VAX binaries are always here)

The xbclock program displays the time in algebraic form. The seconds are represented with the round pump at the top of the clock. Each of the four rectangles below the pump representing 5 hours. Each of the four rectangles below this representing 1 hour. To get the actual 24 hour time you must add the litted rectangles (i.e. the rectangles on the left with the same color/stipple).

In the row below each of the smaller rectangles represents 5 minutes. For the terms of readability the rectangles of every quarter hour are in the same color/stipple as the rectangles above. In the last row each of the four rectangles represents 1 minute.

The xdaliclock program displays a digital clock; when a digit changes, it "melts" into its new shape.

It can display in 12 or 24 hour modes, and displays the date when a mouse button is held down. It has two large fonts built into it, but it can animate most other fonts that contain all of the digits. It can also do some funky psychedelic colormap cycling, and can use the "shape" extension so that the window is shaped like the digits.
