-
- --------
- CornerClock is a pascal program based upon Masafumi Ueda's MBarClock C program.
-
- MBarClock was a program which displayed the time or date in the menu bar to the left
- of the Apple menu. CornerClock uses that same feature, and adds new features.
-
- I converted Masafumi's MBarClock from C to Pascal, and then began forging it into
- a chime replacement program. Currently, if you have long chimes activated with your
- clock which comes with system 7.5, you may experience a very annoying distorted
- sound which interrupts your chime. This is a known bug with the system, as it does not
- appear to lock the sound handle when it plays it (it should lock it because it plays it
- asynchronously). CornerClock plays the hourly chime asynchronously, but locks the
- handle so you get a smooth play.
-
- CornerClock will play a grandfather clock chime on the hour (3 chimes as 3:00, 4 at 4:00, etc.).
-
- When you place the cursor over the time, it will change to the date for 2 seconds, then change back
- to the time (same feature in MBarClock except now there is sound). I've also added some menus
- to CornerClock so that you can toggle the date and time, and force a chime.
-
- There are many enhancements which can be made, like changing the chime sound, changing the
- volume, etc., but I'm releasing it as is to provide the Pascal community with some more sample
- Pascal code. Feel free to send me any questions or notes of thanks.
