Found and tested (JCLOCK2, at least) though I'm unsure of the actual differences b/w the two clocks. Anyways, works well, but maybe could use a "show date if Alt key pressed" feature. Or show free XMS (or whatever).

P.S. The more I think about it, the more ideas I have for future JLM projects (but I dunno how easy / practical / useful these would be as I'm not a good enough programmer):

* JLM to emulate the (few) 486 instructions (e.g. for 386)
* JLM to emulate FPU (287 or 387) (currently I only find shareware utils and haven't really tested any) -- for 386s and early 486s (e.g. my 486 Sx/25)
* JLM to fix the early Pentium FPU bug (although Intel probably replaced most of these) -- at least T.R. Nicely says it could be done (so why wasn't it? much easier to use TSR than replace the chip!)
* JLM to emulate MMX and/or 3dnow!+ instructions

BTW, is it not possible to unload JLMs? (I know, maybe a silly question.)
