I've seen (but never used) a shareware init called "MBarCompress" which is supposed to compress the menu bar to leave space for utilities like SuperClock. I don't know if it works with system 7.0 (I'm pretty sure that it doesn't). You can find it on mac.archive.umich.edu for example. Another possibility is some less smart mbar-clock which does not hide when the menu bar is too wide. I don't remember the name of these dirty things; I think of an init (ClockInit ?) and a FKEY (ClockFKey ?). The FKEY allows to switch on and off the time in the menu bar. Again, I'm almost sure that it doesn't work with system 7.0 (moreover, the system 7.0 is FKEYs-unfriendly !). -- -Nicolas Mercouroff nm@cs.brandeis.edu Dept. of Computer Sciences, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA 02154 My home: P.O.
