Parameter list:

The following is a list of parameters which this applet understands. There are defaults for every setting so in reality you don't need to set anything. The information below is organized in the following format:

param name - (possible values) description

display - ( horz, vert ): Display the time/date vertically or horizontally
showdate - ( true, false ): Show the date
showtime - (true, false ): Show the time
showseconds - ( true, false ): Show seconds. This is ignored if showtime is false.
bgcolor - ( black, blue, cyan, darkGray, gray, green, lightGray, magenta, orange, pink, red, white, yellow or any hex value Ex. 0x1234AB, AB947F, #458ABF): The background color of the clock. It may be any of the above colors or any hex number
charcolor - ( black, blue, cyan, darkGray, gray, green, lightGray, magenta, orange, pink, red, white, yellow or any hex value Ex. 0x1234AB, AB947F, #458ABF): The color of the characters. It may be any of the above colors or any hex number

The inital x,y position corresponds to the top left corner of the first character. If the xpos and ypos param are missing the time display will be centered if the display mode is horizontal.
xpos - ( any number ): The x position where the time will be drawn
ypos - ( any number ): The y position where the time will be drawn
charsize - ( any number ): The size of the characters. The sizes that look best are 15 and 20. You must remember to allocate enough space for the applet to display the characters. The maximum number of characters needed for diplaying the time is 9 characters (10 if displaying in 24 hr mode). Thus for a charsize of 20 you should have an applet width of at least 180. For the date you should allocate enought space for 15 characters.
timehrs - ( 12,24 ): Show time as 12 or 24 hr mode.

Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.

tacting Gary Poon.

This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors
recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for
