Original review published on Steve Litchfield's 3-Lib.

Small, simple and unpretentious are words which all suit this utility from Daniel Sissman. WorldTime shows the time in 14 places round the world simultaneously and is more than a gimmick. For the businessperson dealing with clients all round the world, a quick guide to who's in bed and who's in the office is a real boon. You can grab the latest version from his web site.

A goodly selection of world cities are provided with the program, but you can change them within WorldTime's preferences, setting up a simple "GMT offset" for each (i.e. how far they're ahead of - or behind - Greenwich Mean Time). Clocks can be either all digital or all analogue, but to my mind the traditional analogue ones are prettiest.

That's more or less all there is to it. Daniel's emulated the core features of Time and World as well, by allowing you to set alarms from WorldTime and to look up city information, so those people who tend to leave their Series 5 in the Time application now have a 'world-enabled' replacement. Mind you, the alarm handling is not nearly as nice as Time's, with all alarms simply being referred to as "One", "Two" etc.

WorldTime has the obligatory "Battery status" and "Open files" functions, though they're out of place and rather pointless in a clock utility. Of more use are the excellent help screens and the provision of a system-wide hot-key to jump straight to WorldTime at any point.

A nice addition to the Series 5 of anyone who regularly deals with people in other continents.
