The clock is a simple color Palm OS application, I wrote the first version of it one evening when I discovered I did not have a clock to wake up to after moving my daughter into a new house. I had an extra half an hour so I wrote a digital clock and later updated it to both analog and digital. Modified it to test out the new Palm OS 3.5 color support just to try out the use of color. The clock makes a good test bed for learning more about the Palm OS. Since the original an alarm has been added and offscreen drawing is being utilized to make the display update smoother.
