This is version 1.1 of my clock cda. Text Time, while turnned
on, puts a clock (HH:MM:SS) in the upper right corner of the text
screen. What makes this text screen clock better than the others?
This one will display in either inverse or normal video depending
on what currently is on the screen. Shows up properly on both 80
and 40 columns (there's one out there that doesn't!). If you like
using mixed graphics/text modes, the time will move down the screen
so it will still be visuable. Changes I made from the previous
version include: faster screen updates and as show above, includes
seconds. Download this message, unpack with binscii and then again
with shrinkit. Put the resulting file in the system/desk.accs
subdirectory. Reboot and enjoy! Do note that this is only for the
text screen and thus you won't see it while at the desktop.
Now to get a little technical for those who want to know more.
If you would want to have the clock boot up defaulting to being off
instead on on, just use a block editor and change the string. The
program will notice the change and will respond properly. The program
uses the one second interupt to read the clock and the quarter second
interupt to display it. I didn't use the vertical blanking interupt
because I don't think a clock needs that much of the cpu time, even
though it is still a very small amount. Call me picky.
I welcome any comments, suggestions, complaints, and bug reports.
Hopefully none of the last. And now, here comes the file.
