Overview
DeskTop Clock (DT Clock) is a small clock that sits on your desktop.
This program was written because the author was rather annoyed with the small size of the Windows Taskbar Clock while using the display screen on his laptop, and wanted something easier to read.
DT Clock is freeware and was written in Visual Basic 6.0.
