' Name        : CLOCKX.pbp
' Compiler    : PICBASIC PRO Compiler 2.6
' Assembler   : PM or MPASM
' Target PIC  : 40-pin 16F877A, 18F452 or similar
' Hardware    : Lab-X1
' Oscillator  : 4MHz external crystal
' Keywords    : ON INTERRUPT, IF THEN, LCDOUT, TIMER0
' Description : PICBASIC PRO program for an LCD clock using
