=====================================================================
What it is:

1) A World Clock
A World clock with unlimited configurable clocks, each with it's own time zone, Daylight savings time rule, description, City, Region, Country, and Location Code - all updated in real time (well almost ~ 1/second). Choose from a list of many locations (check the web site for updates) and add your own. Numerous Time and date formats, Universal Time, Swatch Beats, Julian Date, Sidereal time, etc...

MAKE SURE your system is configured for your local time and time zone using the control panel Date/Time applet! if not, none of the calculated times will be accurate.

This module is small and was deigned to display any number of clocks, the current date, day of week, and time in as small a space as possible - minimizes to the system tray, with the tool-tip and application title under user control.

2) System Alarms
Unlimited user definable alarms based upon the local time at any location, classed as Major, Normal, or Minor and Non-Visual alarms that include the ability to execute applications, synchronize your clock, and to dial or disconnect from the internet. Each alarm can include an optional repeat interval, and when visual alarms are due the user can use an optional snooze button to hold the alarm for a configurable number of minutes. An active alarm will AutoSnooze after 25 seconds. The user is also notified at startup of any alarms that came due while WorldTime was not running.


3) Stopwatch(s)
A stopwatch (count up) and timer (count down) module accurate to 1/100 sec with unlimited lap times and lap average (in count up mode) - hidden until used. A Simple module that can be called up many times = have as many sententiously running stopwatches as you want at any time.


4) Important Date Tracker
A module that tracks the amount of time since or until any specified date at any location down to the second. On the left it calculates the cumulative Years, Months, Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds until/since the specified date. On the right the fractional number of Years or Months or Weeks or Days are also provided.


5) Network Time Synchronizer
Uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize your computers system time (UTC) to a time server (choose from a list of over 70 or enter your own). A choice of NTP protocols (Date/Time String or Simple Time) are available based on user preference. Servers can be cycled through until a successful connection is made. Time sync events can also be scheduled to occur at a specific time and/or when a dial-up connection is established.


6) Astronomical Data
Graphically displays the current phase of the moon, Daylight Savings Time Information, Swatch Beats (see www.swatch.com) Julian Date (JD), Modified Julian Date (MJD), Sun Rise/Set, Hours of Daylight, Moon Rise/Set, Distance to the Moon, and Moon's Age:
The Julian Date (JD): Obtained by counting days from the starting point of noon on 1 January 4713 B.C. (Julian Day zero). One way of telling what day it is with the least possible ambiguity.
NOTE: The Julian Date is conventionally referred to UT1, but may be used in other contexts, if so stated. {Example: The date 1900 January (1) 0.5 day UT corresponds to JD = 2 415 020.5
-Modified Julian Date (MJD): Julian date less 2 400 000.5

7) Pop-Up Calendar
A small graphical calendar that can help to quickly find a date, day of the week, or week number accessible from the WorldTime system tray icon or the main window.

8) NTP server
A simple time and daytime server for TCP networks compatable with RFCs 867 and 868 with a small GUI interface, command line options, and logging.
