10. Running Ruputer Programs -
      Watch Apps

The following programs does NOT appear to work on the onHand:

3D Watch
Sometimes resets the onHand.  Cube rotates too rapidly (?!)

MMP Watch
I think it was supposed to print out a series of user-supplied MMPs with a digital watch at the bottom, but the bitmaps could not be loaded correctly.


The following programs work on the onHand:

Analog Watch (CKM)
onHand Version (from the SDK)
The Ruputer version works fine, but menu is corrupted Kranji.
Option 1= ???,   Option 2= Set current time,   Option 3= ???,   Option 4= Exit
Much better idea to use the onHand version that has English menus.

DPW (CKM)
onHand Version (from the SDK)
A ruputer dolphin jumping around screen with shadowed digital time.  Works fine, but menu is corrupted Kranji:
Option 1= ???,   Option 2= Set current time, Option 3= Exit
The onHand version is similar, but without the animated dolphin.

DQALARM (onHand Version from the SDK)
Simple digital clock with calendar.  The default watch app is actually much better than this version.

JUMPS (onHand Version from the SDK)
Cute jumping digital clock.  Not for those with queasy stomachs.

RMOON
Moon phase watch with Jap timezone time and UTC.  Works great!

Picture Watch (CKM)
A more artistic watch you will not find.  Allows you to place a watch face anywhere on a picture of tulips or any MMP you wish to use.  Menu is corrupted Kranji:
Option 1= ???,   Option 2= Exit,   Option 3= Set current time,   Option 4= Set watch face position, Option 5= ???
Kinda impractical as the bitmap will make it difficult to read the time.  Well, different strokes for different folks.

Rose Watch
Chinese characters digital watch with animated roses at the four corners.  Works great.

RBEAT
Similar to UBEAT.  Works great.
1999 Nov 34 Update: I just realized that RBEAT only works for Japan time-zones.  Sorry.

RDOSHO - Cat time
A cute animated display of a cat going to toilet every 1 minute, and then smile for the rest of the minute.

SCALEBIG (CKM)
A huge scrolling digital watch.  Menu is corrupted Kranji:
Option 1= Exit,  Option 2= Set alarms "corrupted Kranji",   Option 3=Set current time.

UBEAT
Works great.  Tells Swatch Beat time, calendar and digital 24hr time.  I prefer this version to RBEAT.
1999 Nov 30 Update:  I have fixed the problem by looking at the source code provided with U-Beat.  Hopefully,
Bernard will make this fix publicly available to all.
1999 Nov 28 Update: While checking with my friend, I realized that it was telling the wrong Swatch beat time.  Could be something to do with different time-zones (I'm at GMT+8).  R-Beat works fine.
