    Based mostly on the code clock_main.c that is distributed with
    the application launcher called tycoon, written by Roman Mitnitski
    <mitnits@shani.net>


INSTALL

    0. You will need at least version 0.81 of the XForms library.  There are 
       some incompatibilies with earlier versions.  You could probably change
       the code to build under earier versions if you really wanted to...

    1. Edit xfclock.c to change a few options
    
       o You can execute a single command by clicking on the clock.  I use
         it to run a calendar program.

       o You can set the default size of the clock (80x80 is good).

    2. $xmkmf; make

       If you do not have xmkmf, I have provided a simple Makefile
 
    3. Copy xfclock to the location of your installed binaries 
       (e.g., /usr/local/bin)
