     True, DMouse has no clock.  (Which is fine with me!)  However,
Matt did write a small clock program, called, appropriately enough,
"Clock".  I think it was included with his DRes (?) compile-time
library as a demo.  (That's where the "config" facility in DNet comes
from.  Hmm...  Has DRes been mentioned yet?  If not, consider it
mentioned.)  Anyway, this clock is a nice little analog display, in a
borderless window, with an invisible close gadget. Config will set the
position and size of the window in the clock executable.  A nice,
unobtrusive little program.

     Thanks, Matt, for all those fine programs!
