!Daily    1990 Joe Abley                  Version 1.11  21/04/91 
======
This is a slightly updated version of Joe's stylish desktop clock module.
I have fixed a few bugs which crept in during the conversion to a module.
All credit and copyright remains with Joe, any remaining (or new!) bugs,
I take full responsibility for.

Usage
=====
If the module is loaded (*RMLoad !Daily.!Run) before the desktop starts
then it will be run automatically (by the desktop service call &49,
Service_StartWimp).

Once the desktop is running, loading the module and executing
*Desktop_Daily will also start it, or simply *RMRun it, eg. by
double-clicking on !Daily.

The clock can be removed by selecting Quit from the Task Manager window
menu or executing *RMKill Daily.

History
=======
v1.00  21/08/90  Joe Abley
  Here's a nice, unobtrusive, stylish desktop clock for you!  And what's
  more it actually takes up no more than about 1k (although, of course,
  this is rounded up to the MEMC page size - 8k or 16k).

  For some reason it seems to run almost exactly three seconds late - don't
  ask me why - but since it doesn't display the seconds you won't notice!!
  The little bar underneath the time moves across every 15 seconds instead
  .. much nicer.

  Oh, it's named after the Channel 4 Daily breakfast TV program which has a
  clock like that.

v1.10  12/09/90  Joe Abley
  My [Joe's] latest offering: A version of !Daily which sits in a module.
  It's much nicer there; as an application it took up a minimum 16k on
  many machines, which was ludicrous since the code size was about 1k!!

  Also, you don't have to re-load it after a reset or after quitting the
  desktop - just load it after every hard-reset, and it stays resident.

  Well, it would really!

v1.11  21/04/91  Denis Howe
  In the process of conversion to a module it lost the nice dash which
  moved every 15 seconds.  Also the initialise entry failed to zero the
  task handle so the clock didn't always start on a Service_StartWimp.
  The task name was a bit funny too.

  To fix these and to learn a bit more ARM code I disassembled the module.
  I fixed the missing dash and zeroed the task handle.  I have moved a lot
  of text from the actual module to this file.  The window no longer has
  the "bottom window" flag bit (bit 11) set so it is now possible to open
  other windows behind the clock.  The reason is that if the clock has this
  flag it can get hidden behind another, overlapping window with the flag,
  eg. !PlaceIt.  This change is sort of consistent with the real
  (translucent) Channel 4 Daily clock.
