un Clock - A PC application and a useful screen saver - keeps you in touch
with the sun and the moon and your colleagues round the globe

Time zones, multi-lingual support, phases of the moon, solar and lunar
eclipses and now with stars and planets. The locations on the earth's
surface where the sun and moon are over head are indicated.

Three screen savers in one: Sun clock, the night sky, and a large format
clock - take your pick. When used as a screen saver it supports Windows
screen saver passwords.

I use this for the time zone features (the astronomy stuff is cool, I
spose, but not my cup of tea). It's a bit clunky to set up and
customize, but works well once you get the hang of it. Launches at
startup and sits in the systray by default.

I found it quite lame. Far below expectations.

Biggest problems I have with it are that they pretty much have the
right click and left click functions on the tray icon reversed, and
when you set it up to use the "Sun" display for the screen saver, it
always switches back to using the "Clock" display. In fact, I don't
think such a program needs to reside in the tray.

Still, the sun map works well.

Sorry, guys, that's the wrong link to the Sunclock. I'll have to go back to
my sent folder at work and repost the correct link if anyone is interested ?
