<  Source and executable for a program that displays an analog clock

<If I get feedback I might jazz it up, document it, etc.

Here's a suggestion you may find convenient:

Link the BGI files into the executable, so that the clock program becomes
a fully self-contained module.  This would make it easier for me to use,
and perhaps some others as well.  The Borland manuals explain how to do this,
using BGITOOBJ (BGIOBJ ?) to create cga.obj and egavga.obj, which are then 
linked along with the program into one happy executable.
