- __________________________________________________________________________
-
- The screen that automatically appears when you run WorldClock Lite is the
- Clocks screen. In addition to the map with day/night pattern and the locations
- of the sun and moon, five clocks are displayed.
-
- The clocks were set prior to distribution to Honolulu, Los Angeles, Denver,
- Chicago, and New York. You may change the "location" of any clock by
- clicking once on the clock. This brings up a scrolling list of over 190 world-
- wide locations. Click on the location of your choice, and then click the Select
- button (or double-click on the location). The clock will display the time at the
- chosen location, including correction for daylight savings time if it is in effect
- at that location.
-
- The brightness of each clock face indicates the daylight, twilight, or nighttime
- condition at the respective location. Nighttime is shown with a black clock face,
- twilight with varying shades of gray. Sunrise and sunset is shown with red and
- orange hues on a color screen.
-
- STD indicates that standard time is in effect at the clock's location. DLT indi-
- cates that daylight savings time (or an equivalent) is in use. Each clock shows
- the great-circle distance in statute miles from the computer's location (displayed
- at the top of the window) to the clock's location.
-
- The location of each clock is displayed in a small rectangle on the map. The
- computer's location on the map is marked with a small circle and cross (red on
- a color display).
-
- Click once on the digital clock panel to change to 24-hour time. Click again for
- Universal Time. Click again to return to AM/PM display.
