Description
Aclock
Aclock is a fun little program that turns your console, terminal, or terminal emulator into an ASCII (text-mode) Analog Clock. Now, I know what you're thinking—what's the point? Honestly, it might not be super useful in the grand scheme of things, but it can give your old mainframe or supercomputer a cool new look!
Why Use Aclock?
So, why would anyone want to use Aclock? Well, if you have a vintage system lying around and want to spice it up a bit, this is your chance! Plus, who doesn’t love having a clock on their screen? It’s perfect for those retro vibes!
Font Settings
When setting up Aclock, you’ll want to make sure your font size is just right. Ideally, you should use fonts that are close to a 1/2 ratio—something like 6x12 or 7x14 works best. If you’re using text-based terminals, settings around 8/16 are pretty spot-on too.
Compatibility
The best part? The UNIX source code for Aclock compiles easily on different systems from AIX to zOS without any fuss. That means no need for extra changes! And guess what? There’s also an experimental version with AAlib support and another one that works with CGIC/GDLIB for web usage.
