   I think you mean clock.exe. Try 'archie' to find a site near to you.
   If you don't have success (access???) drop me a note and I will mail it
   to you (I don't remember where I got my copy from, sorry).

Or better yet, use the XFree86 server to find out the dot clock values:
xinit >& xinit.out

then either
1. pick mode lines from /usr/X386/lib/X11/etc/modeDB.txt or

2. use the xclk program on agate.berkeley.edu in /pub/386BSD/0.1-ports/XFree86
to generate a mode line for your monitor given the Horizontal freq.
and bandwidth. Rich
