2. `configure`
3. `make` (Send me the output if this fails)
HINTS
- If you are using 'Wharf', and only a part (48x48) of the clock is
visible, then
you need AfterStep 0.98Beta Prerelease 4 and you have to set the
'MaxSwallow' keyword for 'asclock'.
TODO (for version 1.1)
- proper colorhandling for shaped clock. (too many colors used!)
- inclusion of asclock into Wharf
- language loading at run-time
FEEDBACK
Please send me language customized 'month.xpm' and 'weekday.xpm' files.
I prefer uuencoded mail.
