subject: system clock?

Hi Roy,

 RJT> At one point here I had the "system clock" showing up 
 RJT> on the desktop.  Not only is it not there any more,  
 RJT> but I can't even seem to find an icon in the current 
 RJT> setup to access it!

My Warp 3 machine has the "System Clock" located in the System setup Folder,
but I can't remember if the Warp 3 install placed it there or I moved it there 
(I tend to move things around how I like........;-))

 RJT> Can somebody point me to the right file here (Warp 
 RJT> Connect),  and suggest what I'd need to do to re-
 RJT> create the icon in its default location?

Its not a standard Program Object, its heavily customised with no obvious
reference to the executable. 

I dont usually bother with the "System Clock", I prefer to use Rick Papo's
"System Resources" tool (also known as Memsize) on ALL my OS/2 Desktops. This
can be configured to display all sorts of useful information about your
system, including the current date/time. 

I was runing V3.30 released in 1997 up until a few weeks ago when I visited
Ricks Web site (http://www.msen.com/~rpapo/) and discovered that while 3.31
was the "current" release, he released V4.0 as beta in August 1999 with a mass 
of extra features and changes. I picked that up but found a small problem with 
the disk space monitor code not bypassing my CD changer and forcing the
changer to scan through all the CD's every few minutes (even though it was
configured to ignore those drive letters). Rick is looking at that at the
moment, but otherwise I think it is an excellent freeware product, even if I
dont need 12 of the 13 language files he provides with it.......;-)

The "current" release is MEMSZ331.ZIP, about 640Kb.

I hope this helps.............pk.
