bahcount Is a simple utility which counts down the seconds left until
noon, January 20, 2009. It displays the countdown in a small window.
That being the expected date Bush will cease being president of the USA.
Of course he'll be a lame duck before that already. The program takes
your timezone into account and counts down according to EST.

Source, binaries and various other things can be found on:

I have included the files 24P_Copperplate_Blue.png, SFont.c and SFont.h,
which are needed. Those files are Copyright (C) 2003 Karl Bartel and 
released under GPL or LGPL. 
If you don't have those files yet, copy the two source files to your 
include/SDL directory, or any other place where your SDL includes reside.
The png file should be in the directory where you start this program, unless
you start the program with an option making usage of this png file 
unnecessary.

Option -h will give you a full list of options. Some of the other options 
are:
-f      shows the countdown in title bar using a minimal window height
        the font image file is not needed using this option
-p      displays amount of seconds left until countdown date, or a
        witty motto
-P      displays ONLY the amount of seconds left, or 0,
        might be useful for scripts and such


Known issues: 

- When used on Morphos the -f option seems not to be working right. The
  window title bar is supposed to show the countdown, instead the time will
  remain the same as it was at the start. It works on other platforms, so
  I assume it is some incompatibility with the SDL implementation on 
  Morphos.
- Also on Morphos this utility may be a bit unresponsive to attempts to
  quit it (escape and close window). 


Enjoy ;-)
