Hi,

Does anyone know of an X-windows program which displays 3 or 4
analog (or digital) clocks, each in a different timezone?  This
would be a useful tool for my job.

Thanks,

Why not use multiple xclocks?

TZ=EST5EDT xclock -geometry =100x100+300+0 -n ET &
TZ=CST6CDT xclock -geometry =100x100+200+0 -n CT &
TZ=MST7MDT xclock -geometry =100x100+100+0 -n MT &
TZ=PST8PDT xclock -geometry =100x100+0+0 -n PT &

running..
xclock -geometry =100x100+300+0 -n ET &

gives me the same time as PST, all the other do the same.
WHat am I doing wrong? I do not run motif. I run twm window manager and X11R5
on a Sun Sparc 1.
thanks in adv.

try:

(TZ=EST5EDT; export TZ; xclock -geometry .... -n ET &)
(TZ=PST8PDT; export TZ; xclock -geometry .... -n PT &)

Use archie to find xchrono.  It does this...

I gave Bourne shell (or Korn shell) syntax, which allows you to set the
environment variables for each execution before the command.

If you are using the C shell, this would be:

(setenv TZ EST5EDT;xclock -geometry =100x100+300+0 -n ET) &
(setenv TZ CST6CDT;xclock -geometry =100x100+200+0 -n CT) &
(setenv TZ MST7MDT;xclock -geometry =100x100+100+0 -n MT) &
(setenv TZ PST8PDT;xclock -geometry =100x100+0+0 -n PT) &
