Lines: 20 Recently I tried to expand xclock to show the local time here and the local time at my home. I am new to widgets so needless to say I spent some time spinning my wheels. I found the widget in Clock.c and found that it uses time(2) and localtime(3). I tried to copy what I needed and add the ability to give a time offset. The attempt failed. After pulling out my hair (there wasn't much left to begin with) I decided it was still beyond me. Has anyone at MIT considered changing xclock to accept another argument, a time offset? If it has already been done, does it run under X11R3? Has anybody hacked out their own clocks which handle non-local time? Is it possible to update xclock to handle a different time zone without updating Xaw? Thanks in advance for any help offered. -- --harkcom@potato.pa.yokogawa.co.jp
