good date/clock for mega/4160 STe

[Randy]

Hi all, looking for a good date and clock program that displays the current date and time on the desktop as well as tags the files as they are created/copied/moved/etc.  I do have a Tadiran battery as well as the UltraSatan built-in clock, would there be a preference when using the Mega STe?  The 4160 STe of course would have to use the US RTC.  Thanks!

Hi Randy, if the computer has the time set the time/ date stamp on files should happen automatically so shouldn't be a problem. For a clock on the desktop you will probably need to search what we called back then 'Public Domain' (Freeware) stuff, it will probably be a desktop accessory. If you trawl through the Floppyshop archive you should find something (search for clock or time in the utilities section)

Just be aware the seemingly best choices which place the clock in the top right hand bit of the desktop menu can clash with some programs, so you might want to go for one that displays the clock in a window.

For a clock in the corner of the screen, try Clocky. For setting TOS time with UltraSatan use RealTimeClockTool by Jookie.
