The original version was written entirely in language assembly, while the successive version, from dBase III, was written entirely in language C.

Perhaps ASSIST was written in the same language?
Keep in mind that in ASSIST it works WITHOUT any key pressed... The watch works from the beginnig [ponder]
Definitely, it must be written in other language.
...but the clock stopped working when the option question appeared...
If the option appears, it means that, for some reason, has left the DO WHILE. I don't know, I would have to watch the program or know more about Foxpro.
You gave me the clue when you said "...be activated once when you run...
Good Day,
Next, I show how I inserted it into a program that I use frequently:
CLEAR
option=' '
set color to n+/b
@ 24,1 say 'Date:'
@ 24,6 say date()
@ 24,65 say 'Hour:'
set color to gr+/r
@ 24,30 say ' Press any to Start '
store 0 to ab,ac,ad,cd,ct...
If you notice any "flickers" in the time, add the following:
*
store 0 to ab,ad,ac,cd,CT && preparing the varibles to be used
waa=' '
*
clear
DO WHILE .T.
if ad=0
do while ac=ab
ab=ab+1
enddo
if ac=ab-1
store substr(time(),1,8) to waa...
I did it (without dBase V), of corse, with adding some stuff (how to stop)
*DO.PRG
*
store 0 to ab,ad,ac,cd && preparing the varibles to be used
waa=' '
*
clear
DO WHILE .T.
if ad=0
do while ac=ab
ab=ab+1
enddo
if ac=ab-1
store...
AAh... that's why I asked for VALID.
I don't know Clipper, I used it only to compile programs written in dBase.
For example:
CLIPPER C:\PERSONNEL.PRG
PLINK86 FI PERSONNEL
