SWEETDOS Clock
Description
SWEETDOS.ZIP is a set of files which display an animated, old-fashioned wall clock in full color. The
program requires an IBM-PC or compatible with a VGA display. A high-speed 286 or 386 machine with a RAM
disk cache is recommended for good quality animation. SWEETDOS including all image files is Copyright

at no charge. However, if you wish to include all or a portion of SWEETDOS files or images in programs
of your own, please contact:

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
SWEETDOS makes extensive use of modified Autodesk Animator FLI files. Hats off to Autodesk for creating
Animator...rarely has an an application given me so many hours of pure fun! Hats off too for FLI.LIB by
Dancing Flame. A variation of Dancing Flame's FLI player helped make SWEETDOS possible.
