' Name        : CLOCKX.pbp
' Compiler    : PICBASIC PRO Compiler 2.60
' Assembler   : PM or MPASM
' Target PIC  : 40-pin 16F887
' Hardware    : Lab-X1
' Oscillator  : 4MHz external crystal
' Keywords    : ON INTERRUPT, IF THEN, LCDOUT, TIMER0
' Description : PICBASIC PRO program for an LCD clock using
' On Interrupt. Uses TMR0 and prescaler.  Watchdog Timer should be
' set to off at program time and Nap and Sleep should not be used.
' Buttons may be used to set hours and minutes.
