In Win5.x, you get the date on the Taskbar if you make it big enough;
i.e. for a horizontal Taskbar, increase its height, for a vertical
Taskbar, increase its width. It's a waste of screen space, though.
I use TClockEx by Dale Nurden for that (<http://www.rcis.co.za/dale/>);
it works on all versions of Windows (conditions apply).
