ola,
I am trying to find out if there is any way to have the time displayed
at the top or bottom of the monitor on the status line (or anywhere else
for that matter), all the time; that is, like a clock.
Are there any shell scripts, or anything, which will do this?
Any information will be appreciated.
thanx & later,

You run the program on the unix host and it keeps the status line updated. It gives you the date and time, and it tells you when you get mail and who it is from. It could probably be easily modified to handle other terminals with programmable, independant status lines.

Um, err, if you're on a BSD machine, try sysline(1)....
