Description:
============

This is an AfterStep look & feel analog clock for X Windows.

Why do we need a yet another clock? Hmmm... It's simple.
I could not find a clock that I could customize to my Wharf
in a decent way. I got frustrated and so I wrote one.

I wear an analogue watch and I am not at all used to reading
the digital watches and clocks. It takes only a glance on
the analogue watch to know what the time is and it takes a while
to read the digital watch. There is a beautiful "asclock"
for those who like digital watches. I needed an analogue clock.

The tool shows a usual analogue clock dial almost in the center.
Actually, I tried first to make one that would be right in the center 
but couldn't. It's pretty hard when you have 54x54 background.
So, I gave up and decided that I will have it "intentionally"
moved away from the center. The top left corner contains the
day-of-week indicator. The bottom line is used to display
the current date.

The date and day-of-the-week displays may be switched off with
a command-line option. Then the clock occupies the whole view.
The X11 '-geometry' option allows you to set the size to any
other size rather than "standard" AfterStep 54x54.

The program may be used directly or in the Afterstep "wharf". It also 
supports the WindowMaker docker (-withdrawn option). It may be used 
in all other window managers as well. It runs well as an icon.
