Well, this was not meant to become a feature to be integrated into AClock. I 
just read in wikipedia about the republican clock (wondering that it was 
completely forgotten whilst metre, kg... are international standard) and asked 
myself if I could write one for my desktop. When I looked at the AClock sources 
I saw that it could be done in 5 minutes, so I tinkered one for me.

I just sent it to the list as I thought somebody else may have fun with it, too.

I don't understand. I'll try and attach a screenshot. (It shows 5:66:85 -- you 
see it's very easy to read as the numbers also apply to the mins/secs)

No, I left all that as it was. I wanted to make just the minimal change. (So 
the arc code was not corrected -- I never understood its use anyway, and the 
am/pm display was not corrected, only turned off by default, as it's sensless 
here )

ps:
One question: Do you have a clue why the code always uses constructions like
c=a-b*floor(a/b);
c/=b;
instead of the straitht-forward c=modf(a/b,NULL); ?
(even the fmod should not be needed as the result is only used in 
sin/cos(2*pi*c))
