2003-08-30"It's" stands for "it is" (or "it has"). The apostrophe is not usedreed1-1/+1
for a possessive (like her, his, whose, their, and its). Note that I didn't check for proper use of "its" (when it should be "it is" or "it has" instead). I also saw over 15 other grammar or punctuation problems, but not fixed in this commit.
2002-05-14Initial import of xchrono, a multi-timezoned X11 clock, into the NetBSDagc1-0/+23
packages collection. Xchrono is a multi-timezone, multi-face clock program for X Windows. Several cities have been compiled into xchrono, and can be invoked with command-line arguments, xchrono -help gives: Usage: xchrono [-analog] [-bw <pixels>] [-digital] [-fg <color>] [-bg <color>] [-hd <color>] [-hl <color>] [-bd <color>] [-fn <font_name>] [-help] [-padding <pixels>] [-rv] [-update <seconds>] [-display displayname] [-geometry geom] [-width clockWidth] [-height clockHeight] [-local localName] [-boston] [-newyork] [-chicago] [-denver] [-la] [-hawaii] [-tokyo] [-sydney] [-london] [-paris] [-frankfurt] [-rio] OK, OK, Hawaii isn't a city, but you get the point. The timezones used are taken from tztab in the SYSV case, and from /usr/lib/zoneinfo otherwise, and as such may or may not be correct (the TZ variable definitions or the city->timezone mappings). The -local <localName> option causes a clock labeled with <localName> using the value of TZ at startup as it's timezone. In addition, a GMT clock always appears. [Requested by groo, who has enough trouble with one timezone, so why he wants more is beyond me.]
