+X11 version by John Mackin, <john@cs.su.oz.AU>, based on a Suntools program
+by John Walker, <kelvin@acad.uu.NET>.
+
+This program is a clock that shows which portion of the Earth's surface is
+illuminated by the Sun. It is designed to be usually iconic, but can be
+opened for a larger display with the time updated every second and both the
+local timezone and UTC displayed. The Suntools version had a menu that
+allowed you to speed up time, show different dates, etc., but I have
+never implemented any of that in the X version; there is some support
+for it in the code, however.
