Sun Clock - PC Version

PC version by Dave Katz, , based on an X11 version
by John Mackin, , based on a Suntools program
by John Walker, .

This program is a clock that shows which portion of the Earth's surface is
illuminated by the Sun. It displays the current time in both the local
time zone and UTC.

To set your time zone correctly, put the following in AUTOEXEC.BAT:
set TZ=EST5EDT
The "5" is the number of hours west of UTC for the local time zone,
and "EST" and "EDT" are the strings to display for standard and daylight
time, respectively. Alter for your own time zone as need be. If you
don't set it, it will default to the Source of BSD Unix (PST8PDT).

This program is public domain and may be freely copied as long as the
notices at the top of sunclock.c remain intact.

    Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

    This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

    But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
