HINTS
     -  If you are using 'Wharf', and only a part (48x48) of the clock is 
        visible, then
        you need AfterStep 0.98Beta Prerelease 4 and you have to set the 'MaxSwallow' 
        keyword for 'asclock'.
        Please do not send in any more solutions for this problem. 8-)


TODO
    nothing more to do. Contact me if you have an idea for improvements.
