Apps :: Looking for World Time Application

I've been rewriting this in C. Preliminary tests running it from torsmo are very smooth, no blinking at all, even downloading every call (no caching yet). It forks a child and downloads the time in that, so it might be possible to make it so that citytime just carries on reading from cached times while a sluggish download is in progress, thus removing any additional interruption to the display caused by a download. I also tried doing this in perl, but forking in perl by itself slowed things down.

Still more work to do, but an interesting little project.
