Is there a date showing dockling? iCal does it nicely but I don't use iCal so it seems silly (and wasteful) to keep it open just so I can see the date.
Why couldn't Apple have kept the NeXT way of having the time and date built-in to the system prefs icon. *sigh* 
Version tracker only turned up a full calendar thing called Calindock and that's more than I need.
TIA.

Jaguar's Clock.app can show the date in the Dock.

Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

You don't have to keep it open - you only need to launch it once and then close it. The Dock icon will continue to update after that during that session. A little inconvenient that it doesn't do this without launching first, but no different to having to launch a Dockling to do the same.

Yeah that would be perfect. You can have the clock as a floating window via the Date & Time prefs in Panther, although I know that isn't what was asked for.

Why not? Clock.app runs fine in Panther. If you have Jaguar, you can extract it using Pacifist. Only problem is that Clock's date display is kind of ugly.
He can also keep iCal running with all windows closed. It hardly uses any CPU time.

I was referring to the floating window clock, not Clock.app.

I extracted Clock.app and wow, is that ugly. I decided for now to just run iCal with no windows open and have it auto-hide when I log in. It seems wasteful but at least it's not an eyesore and since I keep the dock on the right and iCal is the 2nd icon, I see it often. Silly, Steve... you had it *right* with NeXT Software. Now... ugh. 
Thanks for the ideas.

I also have it on auto-hide when I log in, but why the heck does it still show up for 5sec before hiding? stuff like this annoys me.

why not just click the menu time and get the date? seems wasteful to use up memory and CPU cycles otherwise
