Looking for Alto Clock screensaver/app

Posted by: Bugsi on 2023-06-29 22:32:09 Years ago, I had an app that I could run on my Mac Plus called "Alto Clock". It was a port of a digital clock screensaver that ran on the Xerox Alto computer. I used it as a desk clock in my kids' room for many years. I've lost the disk that had the app on it, and I have not been able to find it searching the Internet. It functions exactly like a current App Store app called "Dali Clock" which you can see in demo here: https://www.jwz.org/xdaliclock/ Here's a photo of my Plus running Alto Clock: If anyone has a copy or can point me to a copy, I'd be forever grateful. I'm not really interested in OTHER clock apps; I'm trying to find Alto Clock.
