Type-in from the October 1988 issue of Amstrad Action.
The program is Listed at end of video.
From AA:
"We've had no shortage of programs that turn the CPC into a clock. This one from Simon Payne - resident in Blackpool - is a bit special though, because it creates a clock that doesn't get in the way, letting your computer get on with life. When you want to see what the time is just press the enter key. (That's the small enter key on 464's.)
Program Notes :
Lines 70-170 perform the data leading and error checking on the data. This data is stored in lines 180-300, and it's the clock program itself written in machine code. Line 310 runs this machine code, setting up the clock, and lines 320-340 are used to input the start time.
Finally, line 350 prints up the minimal instructions on usage."
