INITInfo 4.3.1. states that
The clock works with After Dark, Pyro, and Screen Locker but
not with Moire, where the clock shines through the blanking.
Synchronicity, same thing -- AlarmsClock shines through when
it really shouldn't. (Jorg Brown 73177,1404)
I connot confirm this observation.
On my MacII running Sys 6.0.7, AlarmsClock shines through
Pyro 4.0.1. Now Tech Support was not very helpful ("AlarmsClock is not
SuperClock"), but since I own a copy of Now Utilities, but not
SuperClock, I would like to stick with what I got.
Is there anyone out there who can confirm that AlarmsClock and Pyro
get along without problems? Do others have the same problem?

Are you running TrueType? If so, it must run before the screen saver, or the symptom is as described. I personally have verified this behavior with After Dark and Pyro 4.0.1. Since you have Now Utilities, you should use Startup Manager to move Truetype earlier in the INIT sequence. jim -- __ __ / o / Jim Budler jimb@silvlis.com | Proud / / /\/\ /__ Silvar-Lisco +1.408.991.6115 | MacIIsi /__/ / / / /__/ 703 E.

I sure made that sound like I had laboriously debugged it myself 8^) Sorry, the information was gleaned from either Steve Brecher or Jorg Brown (sp?) during a thread on Compuserve concerning exactly this problem. Both participated in the thread. Jorg Brown works at Now, so Now is now 8^) aware of the problem. jim -- __ __ / o / Jim Budler jimb@silvlis.com | Proud / / /\/\ /__ Silvar-Lisco +1.408.991.6115 | MacIIsi /__/ / / / /__/ 703 E.
