HappyPlusClock 0.80

HappyPlusClock version 0.80 is available for download!

All it has is the basic two clocks for this initial release. It should run well on any supported system (Classic Mac OS 4.2 or later on the Plus or newer). You don't actually need a Plus to run HappyPlusClock -- it runs just fine in a window under Classic on my G5 running 10.4.

It's available as a StuffIt file (had to dig around and find my old copy of StuffIt Lite 3.6) and as an 800K disk image, usable with Disk Copy 4.2 (or any later version, including on Mac OS X).

I've already had requests for feature additions — thanks Chris! — so this won't be the last version. A date display is obvious (so obvious that it never occured to me — D'oh!), and it's coming next.

An alarm feature requires a little more though. The Mac has a basic alarm feature (through the Alarm Clock DA). Anything more is going to require some thought about the user interface. The coding shouldn't be too hard.

If you decide to download and try it, please shoot me an e-mail at ahall@vitaphone.net just to let me know you did. That'd be really great.
