Here is a submission for the Useless HP48SX Demo Program Archive, an
analog clock.  I execute << OFF CLOCK >> when I am done using my 48 for
a while.

MKFACE generates FACE, the background picture.  You only need to run this
once.  It takes about 15 secs to execute (ARCs are slow).  [Note: You don't
have to run MKFACE; the disk already has FACE on it.  See NFACE on the disk
for a new, improved clock face.  -jkh-]

Once you have a FACE, you can run CLOCK every time you want to impress your
friends.  [Just press CLOCK; it's ready to go.  -jkh-]

Please send comments, bug fixes to squires@eecs.nwu.edu

To make the program work better in a control alarm I made a change in
the clock program: change {} PVIEW to { #0 #0 } PVIEW 7 FREEZE.  [Note:
this change is already implemented on the disk version of CLOCK.  -jkh-]

You can then store  an alarm with a repeat of one min and a exec
of \<< DROP CLOCK \>>.  Then the clock will update every min.  [Note: see
ACLOCK for an implementation of this idea for a running clock, except this
one updates every second (!) and even show a second hand!  -jkh-]
