CLOCK(1)                  UNIX System V(11 June 1990)                  CLOCK(1)


NAME
      clock - display the time in an icon or window

SYNOPSIS
      clock

AVAILABILITY
      This command is available with the OpenWindows environment.  For
      information about installing OpenWindows, refer to the OpenWindows
      Installation and Start-Up Guide.

DESCRIPTION
      clock is an OpenWindows XView utility that displays the current time in a
      window or icon. When the window is open, clock can display the time in
      either analog or digital format. The clock window is scalable in either
      format.

USAGE
      When the clock window is open, it has a floating menu from which you can
      bring up a property window.  From this property sheet, you can modify the
      display of the tool by selecting either the Analog or Digital choice box.
            Seconds:
                  On the analog version, this selection starts a second hand on
                  the face of the clock. On the digital version, it adds two
                  digits to the digital readout.
            Date:
                  Turns on a date display for both analog and digital versions
                  of clock.

BUGS
      If you reset the system time, clock will not reflect the new time until
      you change its window state from open to icon, or vice versa.  To reset
      the system time, see date (1V).

      The date display does not go well with the round clock face.

      Occasionally, when clock is uncovered, the face will be visually
      corrupted. Use the Refresh button from the frame menu to repair.
