Introduction
NISClock is a small clock program that displays the time and date
on the active public screen. Locale.library is used to format the
time and the date that you define. The text of your choosing (the
time by default) is displayed in a small window that matches the
screen's title-bar colour, or as a screen gadget button look-alike.
A mouse click on the window will display a second text (usually the
date).
The E-Clock timer is used to time the update intervals so that
the time is always updated even if the clock is adjusted backwards.
NISClock is written in C, and compiled with SAS/C 6.58.
Screen Notification
NISClock can make use of Stephan Becker's screennotify.library which
patches a few intuition.library functions so that the clock will
automatically close its window if the Public screen that it inhabits
is closed by another program. If NISClock is on the Workbench screen,
it will be notified of the close and opening of the Workbench screen
by IPrefs for a preferences change or by any other program which calls
CloseWorkbench(). The window will then not open until OpenWorkbench()
is called.
Other Options
Other options include window position, justification of the text within
the window, a specified amount of time (seconds) to update the clock
display, and the ability to avoid certain public screens.

Requirements
NISClock has the following simple requirements:
- Amiga OS V37 (2.04). Uses V39 features if present.
- locale.library.
- RECOMMENDED: screennotify.library by Stephan Becker. See
'Installation' for more information on screennotify.library.
- NISClock must be run from the Workbench; perfect for the WBStartup
drawer.
