This tiny program was written on a weekend in the fall of 1998 after
all conventional means of waking up at a reasonable time were exhausted.
The VGA 640x480x16 grayscale mode is used to display huge rotating
anti-aliased numeric digits which are designed to be readable to a squinting
eye from a distance. RClock Alarm also features a unique numeral morphing
mode.
Interesting RclockAlarm Facts:
- RClockAlarm.exe is 8,150 bytes long.
- The source code for this program consists of 2,222 lines of assembly language.
- The uncompressed bitmap image of the clock's ten digits takes up more space
than the entire executable.
