Hello,

No Forth program that I know, but there is a Basic program to display a big digital clock on a HP-IL display, using the BANNER$ keyword from the BANNER LEX (also part of my ULIB52 collection).

The program is in the BANNER LEX documentation here:
jeffcalc.hp41.eu/emu71/files/71-00004_banner.pdf

The BANNER LEX makes the program run quite fast, and it could be a fun exercise to convert it to Forth (no , I won't do it :-)
