I have uploaded my program USDebtWatch to
sonata.cc.purdue.edu:pub/next/submissions. A description follows:

USDebtWatch
FreeWare Version 0.1 (92.07.23)

Algorithm:
USDebtWatch displays an estimate of the national debt of the United
States of America. The estimate is updated at a regular interval
specified by the user. Debt computation routines are taken from Jamie
Zawinski's xdebt. The debt estimate is derived from the 1989 Survey of
Current Business (SCB '89). It assumes a starting figure of
$2,707,284,000,000 as of December 31, 1988, with a linear rate of
increase of $7673.015 per second. Although the result looks horrifying
enough as is, it is certainly an obsolete underestimate. If you know of
a more recent and/or accurate algorithm for estimating the national
debt, please send me email. I used a FormCell, so it would be easy to
upgrade the program to simultaneously display the results of more than
one estimate.

Icon:

The icon is intended to depict Lady Liberty being crushed by the burden
of a heavy debt portfolio. I am not an artist; otherwise, I would have
done a better job.

NeXTSTEP Notes:

Interface by Erik Sowa (sowa@netcom.com). USDebtWatch is an old FORTRAN
hacker's first publicly-released NeXTSTEP program! Preferences are
stored in the defaults database.
