                                 XDaliClock

XDaliClock is a digital clock for the X Window System; when a digit changes,
it ``melts'' into its new shape.

It can display in 12 or 24 hour modes, and displays the date when a mouse
button is held down.  It has two large fonts built into it, but it can
animate most other fonts that contain all of the digits.  It can also do some
funky psychedelic colormap cycling, and can use overlay planes or the `shape'
extension so that the window is transparent.

In the default configuration, this program is very network-intensive.  If it
seems sluggish, try the "-memory high" option (see the man page).  It will
take a little longer to start up, but will then go easy on the bandwidth.

This program was inspired by the Alto/Macintosh programs of the same name,
written by Steve Capps some time in the early eighties.  This implementation
is mine, and if you're looking for another reason to hate the X Windows
``feature'' of network-transparent graphics, well here you go.

To build:

  -  xmkmf ; make
  -  make install install.man

(If you don't have xmkmf, which is a standard part of X, then your vendor is
doing you a disservice.  Report it as a bug.  However, you may be able to limp
along using Makefile.simple.)
