- Hi. In our library here at JHU, we have vt100 terminals connected to the
- campus network. One time while I was working on homework, I realized I didn't
- have my watch on. So I logged into my CS account and used the 'date' command
- to keep me informed about the time.
-
- The problem was I was constantly typing in 'date' to check the time. Is there
- a command or program similar to TSR's on IBM's which could constantly keep me
- informed of the time and/or have an alarm that could ring the default beep at
- a specific time? It doesn't even need to be resident, I just want something
- that would run until I pressed ctrl-c or logged out.
-
- Thanks in advance - Phil
