# Clock.sh
# A bash DEMO to create a 6 x 7 character set using the whitespace character.
# It is a functional digital clock but this is not important as I want this
# method for an _at_a_glance_ digital display for a kids level shell digital
# voltmeter I am in the process of doing.
#
# The clock in normal size is white on black near the top. The extra large clock
# is green on black and in the centre of the terminal..

# $VER: Clock.sh_Version_1.00.00_(C)2013_B.Walker_G0LCU.
# Issued under GPL2.

# Written so the anyone can understand how it works.
# Set the window to white foreground on black background.
