#x11cp #x11 #archaic application.
Another clock application! This time, it's #xarclock, written by Jaime Garcia Ghirelli, somtime in April 1994.
The README says:
"If clocks had been invented in Argentina (southern hemisphere), they would run anti-clockwise. Down there a sundial runs the other way around!
The program is an extension of the standard X clock widget. New features are: Configurable direction of rotation and font support in analog mode."
Interesting, indeed! So here's a screenshot showing a clock with roman numerals going clockwise, and a different clock showing the time going anti-clockwise.
You can also change the colours of the hands and render the clock in reverse colour (think b&w displays).
Fun!
