The digital ("-d") option uses the 24-hour format by default.
Regardless, the option for 24-hour format is "-twentyfour", not "-24".
Does that work for you? It doesn't work for me. I know that the man
page says it should do that, but it always gave me 12 hour instead.
The "strftime" option wants "-n" for a newline. But that seems to not
work. Like Samuel, I get an empty rectangle for the "%n". I tried
several "xclock" commands. Each time, I get the warning message
"Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion" Is that a
useful clue to why we can't get time and date on separate lines?
Unlikely. The problem is that xclock would have to interpret the
newline character and isn't designed to do that.
