Hi Folks.
I @Macarlo just tested here on my Warp 4 FP6 this fine relase by the croatian programmer Goran Ivankovic, World Clock for OS/2 Warp. Here his a tool really efficient for Warp administrators and users. In the photo below you can see it starting on my Warp Client.

Running World Clock

 When you start World Clock you will see selected cities with their time, date, UTC  difference (+hh:mm = eastern hemisphere, -hh:mm = western hemisphere) and Time Zone descriptor - for Standard time or Daylight Savings time (DST). If city has DST, there is a  small circle after DST descriptor. In title bar is displayed UDT, UTC,and/or Internet time  ("Swatch beat").

To do this, select YOUR CITY as FIRST city of possible 9.
