[comp.os.vms] CLOCKS on terminals.

MACALLSTR@vax1.physics.oxford.ac.UK (06/15/88)

Any easy way to get the time on any terminal whenever you want it is
 to type  CONTROL/T as required. That way you don't waste line(s) of
 limited screen space. CONTROL/T has the advantage of working on any
 terminal.
Some of the more modern VT200/300 inexpensive terminal emulations even
 have 'pop-up' clocks and calculators as standard terminal features!
On VAXstations,etc the windowing software demo progs include a 'BANNER'
 program to give you a continuously running clock/system status/news/
 other fancy things display.
I thought people might be interested in those 'clocks' which are available
 without extra effort.
