MoreClocks from Mac App Store

Read it only if you have loaded MoreClocks from the Mac App Store. MoreClocks is now available from the Mac App Store. In order to be compliant with the store rules, I have removed a functionality of MoreClocks, its capacity to start in a no menu no dock icon mode. This mode has been removed but in order to keep the functionality to my dear users, I provide here a set of command files that you can double-clic in order to change (externally) the mode of MoreClocks. That's not so convenient that the integrated functionality, but it works and this not difficult to use. Load the file, open the folder and follow the instructions. Many thanks.
