What's New

   * Now Kcmclock is a standalone application ( previously was a built-in
     kclock dialog )
   * Added new translations ( see "po" directory for more information )
   * Built a new KDateTable widget class with more features ( see dtime.cpp
     for more info )
   * more and more...

Installation

For a quick installation type the following at your command prompt:

#./configure
#make
#make install

If there aren't any errors after restart kpanel or KDE you must see the
"Date & Time" entry in the kpanel/Settings folder.
Now simply click on it or run the Kcontrol Center ;-)

To uninstall kcmclock simply type:

#make uninstall

Notes

   * The "Time Zone" setup is very primitive !
        o It doesn't affect your system configuration !
        o See the set_tzone.sh shell on .../kde/bin directory for more info.
   * kcmclock requires KDE beta4 and qt library version 1.33 or later.
   * If you have any trouble to change system time & date, check out the
     set_dtime.sh shell on .../kde/bin directory.
   * If you have any trouble to change system time zone, check out the
     set_tzone.sh shell on .../kde/bin directory.
   * The latest version of kcmclock can be found on
     http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/2964/linux.html
   * If you have some comments, suggestions or bug report, please email me !
   * More useful technical notes can be found in the source code.

Todo ( in priority order )

   * Learn Java ! ;-)
   * Allow the "set_dtime.sh" script to work on all the KDE/Unix platform (
     I'm working on a Caldera Linux )
   * Allow kcmclock to change "Time Zone", ( any idea ?? , maybe only for
     the Linux/Intel Box )
   * Change the Time Zone simply clicking on the World Map
   * Check all the .po files ( any volunteer ?? )
   * Translate this doc ( any volunteer ?? )
   * GNOME/GTK porting ;-)
