For those of you having interest, I wrote and compiled a little program to show seconds since midnight, decimal time, real time, and elapsed time. It updates every minute.

Just tell it you trust me and go ahead and run it.
I mean, if you can't trust me, whom can you trust?
It makes use of the variable "timer," which returns the number of seconds since midnight --so if you want to write one in your most very favoritest language, have at it.

No. But give me the source, and perhaps I will compile it myself and try it.Just tell it you trust me and go ahead and run it.

It was written in GW-Basic. An ancient, very quick method of programming. I still use it for quickies, and many of the prgram lines can be xfrd to VB.NET, etc. Compiled with Turbo Basic compiler, also ancient. (I'm also testing my new sig line here.)
