Analog Clock

===Purpose

Colorful clock with analog display

===Usage

This analog clock changes colors at each tick, and adapts itself to the window size, from stamp-sized to full-screen, like the old Amiga one.

The title bar shows the time too, so in some operating systems (like MS-Windows) it can still be usable when minimized. 

===Note

This simple clock works with most versions of /View, but only needs the /Face subset (part of the SDK): it doesn't use the VID dialect at all, and instead builds all its faces with "make face" statements. A consequence is a less readable source code, VID being better suited to build graphical interfaces.
