hi in freebsd there's grdc (a ncurses clock) I can't find it in debian.. could you check? I found this source code which seems to work in debian squeeze: http://src.gnu-darwin.org/src/games/grdc/grdc.c.html I compiled with: gcc -Wall -O2 -o grdc grdc.c -lncurses It would be good if you can add to some debian package. please let me know thanks
