16 Bit Application Won't Run

[Tim Slattery]

Could you give me an example ?

I write 16 and 32 bit programs using assembly.

I would love to learn how to build icons into my 16 bit programs.

In the days of Win3.x, I wrote GUI programs that had their own icons,
just like modern GUI programs, and those were necessarily 16-bit,
since that's all that OS understood. If you're writing command line
programs, that's different.

What does it do? Maybe there's something a bit more modern that will
do it.

If so, I haven't been able to find one Googling it and searching a lot.
It is a banner across the top of the screen which shows: phase of the
moon ( I mess with astronomy), the time and date in several formats,
resources used, HD free space, memory available and used , sunset,
sunrise etc.

It isn't a banner and it doesn't include the astronomical bits, but I
find TClockEx (google it and ignore the "it's old-fashoned-looking"
comments) useful; it lets you modify the format, content, and colour of
the system clock. Mine currently says

in yellow on brown, but you can select what you include, the format
(including line breaks), and so on. I have a similar one at work that
includes the week number. It also draws thin bars along the top and
bottom for CPU usage (though I prefer the tray indication from Process
Lasso for that) and memory load (again, I prefer RAMpage from
http://www.jfitz.com/software/RAMpage/index.html for that - though as I
rarely use the RAM I've got I rarely look at it anyway). [It (TClockEx)
also has a handy (well, I find it so) popup month calendar.]

I used TClockEx for a long time. There were a few issues with it (I
forget exactly what now, except that they were mainly visual) so I
eventually switched to T-Clock 2010, which is very similar. I've been
using it on my XP computers ever since.

It's been a long time since I used either one, so I don't remember the
differences. But I do remember that I liked TClock much better than
TClockex.

Mine isn't TClock! There are several system tray clock utilities that
have similar names but from different developers. I suppose they are
all derived from the same basic code.

I think first there was TClock, then there was "TClock Lite", then
"TClock EX", and the latest variation I've found is the TClock 2010
that I use.
