.SH
.B magicclock
[
.B -c
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Magicclock
will display a grid of letters,
with words corresponding to the approximate time highlighted.
By default,
.I magicclock
will update the display as the time progresses;
when invoked with
.IR -t ,
it will instead display the time at that number of seconds since the epoch.
This is mostly used for testing.
.PP
.I Magicclock
runs both on Plan 9 and on Unix, using plan9port,
Under unix it will use
.IR fontsrv (4)
to use a nicer system font.
It detects unix by looking for the
.I service
environment variable either being blank or set to
.LR unix .

.SH BUGS
.PP
It should be possible to set the color and possibly the margin
(at least when not under
.IR -c ).
.PP
The Plan 9 fonts shipped with the system don't include many
large monospaced fonts.
You may want to import some fonts when running on Plan 9.
