+By default this program will set your root windows name to the time in binary, however if you set the environment variable binstatus to 'dec' (export binstatus=dec' it will display the time as hh:mm.
+
+
+compile:
+````cc binstatus.c -lX11 -o binstatus````
+
+
+run:
+````./binstatus &````
+
+
+You may prefer to put this in your .xinitrc file.
