AnalogClock DA is a simple analog clock accessory for your
PalmOS device. You need a launcher program that supports
"DA" modules.
You can get "DAL," which stands for "DA
launcher," from Hacker dude-san's Homepage.
AnalogClock DA will not work with PalmOS1.0 due to its different preferences API from later versions of PalmOS.
Newer than version 0.70 supports PalmOS 3.5 and color device. It contains a bug fix in dragging on PalmOS 3.5 devices.
You have to install and activate DAL or some other DA launcher before installing and using AnalogClock DA. Because DAL is a HackMaster extention. you need to install HackMaster as well.
You can download AnalogClock DA from here. After extracting the archive, you will find the English version of AnalogClock DA (AClock.prc) in the folder named "English."
Install the "AClock.prc" file using the installation tool of your PalmPilot desktop program.
You eill see the "AnalogClock DA" entry in the launch menu of your DA launcher. To start AnalogClock DA, select it in the list. (See below)
