Here's another version of my Text Time CDA.  I have found out that
calls to the toolbox to read the clock takes to long for serial
communications above 2400 bps.  As a result, a few characters would
get lost every second.  I find this a bad situation!  Sp this
version of of my clock calls the toolbox at startup and counts time
on its own.  This allows people with fast modems to use my cda
and not curse me.  The only drawback to using this method is, if
an application disables interupts for longer than a second, the
clock will loose time.  Right now, the best way for you to get the
time back in sync with the system is to press control-apple-esc
and exit back out.  Text Time sees you going to the da menu and
desides it's a good time to call the toolbox and sync up.  If
anyone has ideas on how to keep the clock in sync and not interupt
>2400 bps communications, I'd love to hear them.

Text Time for those who are hearing about it for the first time
is a cda that will put the time (HH:MM:SS) in the upper right
corner of the text screen.  It knows the difference between 40
and 80 columns (not like others I've seen) and even handles mixed
text/graphics displays!  As an added bonus, Text Time will display
the time in either normal or inverse video to match the background!
Is it obvious that I'm not a fan of the desktop enviroment?

If you find any problems with this cda, send me email and tell me
about it.  I can't fix it if I don't know about it!  Suggestions
and comments about it are welcomed to.
