A digital clock for X Windows
By Roger Allen
This is probably the oldest working code I have. Looks like I started this in November, 1991 and I found the code & decided to do some cleanup in May, 2018 -- 26 years later. I think I started this on a Sun Workstation at Amdahl, updated it somewhat to work on SGI Workstations at Silicon Graphics and then forgot about it when I went off to join the PC/Windows revolution.
All I had to do to get this going on Ubuntu was sudo apt-get install libmotif-dev and compile it. That was a surprise after not touching this since 1998. Thank you X11 & Linux!
I removed some crufty and downright unsafe code that allowed for running programs on a schedule. So, now all this does is show a nice digital display. But that's all I really wanted it to do.
