Will somebody who sees these problems please try debugging them?  
`uclock' works on MSDOS (at least for me), so I suspect that something in 
it is incompatible with Windows.  It reprograms the system timer, but 
that in itself doesn't necessarily mean that it shouldn't work.

Too many people have recently complained about `uclock'.  I find it 
unbelievable that no one has sat down and found the reason.
