I had intended to post HappyPlusClock 0.81 by now, with a date display, but I found a problem. The analog clock now crashes on my Plus. Not on my iMac, not on my SE/30, not on vMac emulating a Plus.
Grrr.
What's worse, MacsBug doesn't act correctly on my Plus, either -- it just locks up the system.
Update: Turns out it's a NIL handle bug, caused when I removed a now-unused debugging component. A bit of global data belonging to that component was no longer being initialized, and I ended up passing that to QuickDraw, which proceeded to go nuts. QuickDraw on later systems is much more tolerant to bad data. In this case, it hid a bug for a week.
HappyPlusClock 0.81 forthcoming!
