[comp.sys.amiga] Time!

Ok. Is it just me.. Or do I think that the SAS/C 5.1 include discription
is very vague. I don't think I could define myself as being slow. But, I
was figuring out how to display the time and it was such a bear. Their
example is not good at all. well, I have a problem which hopefully
someone can help me by writing via E-Mail.

#include <dos.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define TIMEMODE 4
#define DATEMODE 7

main()
{
   unsigned char clock[8];
   char time[4];
   char date[3];
   int counter;

   getclk(clock);
   for (counter=0;counter<4;counter++)
      time[n]=clock[n+4];
   for (counter=0;counter<3;counter++)
      date[n]=clock[n+1];

   stptime(clock,TIMEMODE,time);
   printf("%s\n",clock);

   stpdate(clock,DATEMODE,date);
   printf("%s\n",clock);
}

Ok. here is my problem:
1. When I define DATEMODE 5. I get a software error. You know the red
flash! I figured it has to be the 19 byte date. So, how do I allocate this
from preventing this from erroring on me. 

2. What is proto/intuition.h used for

3. I want to use an extended graphic version of this instead of the clock
given in 2.0. Because I have to move it to the top and also select digital.
It get's painful. Well, the problem I have encountered is when I put an icon
with it and load it in the wbstartup. It creates another window. How do I get
rid of this window.

4. When I run a program from the CLI. How do I deattach the program from
the CLI. So, the CLI window can go away.

5. Can someone help me on understanding HEX code when making gadgets
structures in C.

Thanks in advance!
