What do you mean when you say it is inaccessible or you can't make it work?
You have a file named clickclock?
You want to execute (run) it?
You want to change the ownership of it?

Appologies: file is called <swisswatch> needs arguements. can't make it work at all, says does not exist or inaccessible. path is /usr/bin/swiisswatch want to call via icon but icon has exclaimation mark. thx

I do not know if this can help but a quick search in forum show this

Hi mikeslr,

Maybe you would like swisswatch (Swiss railway clock)

100x100 give the size of the clock.

1590+10 the xy-location

Have fun.

I did a test and this is what I find:
I am in BusterDog64. This is a 32bit app. This app needs libXmu.so.6. So I installed.
Depending on your Puppy you may need 32bit compatibility sfs.

I guess open a terminal and try 1rst if it work, then create the menu

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/swisswatch -geometry 100x100+10+10

It did and I can maximaze it to take Full Screen.

To create link open geany. Type in

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Name=swisswatch
Exec=/usr/bin/swisswatch -geometry 100x100+10+10
Type=Application
Icon=swisswatch

Save as swisswatch.desktop

Enjoy, enrique

cannot find XFree86-libs-4.1.0-50.pet. for bionicpup64-8.0. even 32bit will do.
