In one of my signatures, I write:
>"Every multitasking system needs a talking clock..." -- Andy Finkel

I got this quote from Andy's TransAmi article about 1.3 Shell scripts.  The
article appears in the April 1989 Transactor, VOL 2, ISSUE 1.  In that issue
there is a talking.clock script and some 'sub-scripts' :-) that it calls.
Unfortunately, one short script called 'substr' was left out.  It was included
in another issue's Bloopers section, I think it was VOL 2, ISSUE 3.

Anyway, having typed the scripts in, I'm not sure if they work... but I didn't
test them thoroughly.  You should probably look for those TransAmi issues--
yeah, I know, I know that's like looking for Martians-- or you could ask Andy
to post the 'source' to comp.binaries.amiga or comp.sources.amiga.

Hope this satisfies your curiosity, if not your desire.  By the time this is
read, I hope to be on my Break in Daytona!  :-)  Have fun guys/ladies!

                                          "Weirdos from Another Planet!")
