A new utility, called 'roughclock', has been added to the server. Here's the description: Here is a simple rough clock that tells the time to the nearest 5 minutes or so. Tells the time is the form 'It's just gone twenty past three.'. It takes virtually no cpu time as its only polled once every minute. It has been uuencoded and sparked (old version). Once you have it out of !spark it is simply double clicked on to run it. This was submitted by Rik Heywood. To retrieve a file a file from the archive, send a message to info-server@newcastle.ac.uk with the following content: line-limit 1000 request: sources topic: archimedes filename request: end where filename is replaced by the name of the file that you want. A filename of 'index' will send you the latest index file.
