Short: Synchronize the clock with NTP Author: hlinnaka@iki.fi (Heikki Linnakangas) Uploader: hlinnaka@iki.fi (Heikki Linnakangas) Version: 2.1 Type: util/time Requires: AmiTCP V4.0 or compatible (tested with Miami V1.1) Replaces: util/time/NTPSync20.lha This simple program allows you to synchronize your system clock through the Internet with the Network Time Protocol (NTP). See http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp for more info on NTP. If you are using an older version, you should upgrade now, because the older versions had some serious bugs. HISTORY --- V2.1 - fixed the date, was one day behind. I thought I fixed that in an older version already, but now it should be fixed for real --- V2.0 - fixed a bug that caused the clock run very fast sometimes - now tries to use another port if 123 is already in use - now asks the local.library for the UTC diff if not given - some other minor changes - now takes the network delay into account --- V1.1 - added version information for the 'version' command - added some integrity checks to the reply - added support for different ports - now prints stratum of the server when time is set - added the COMPILATION-section to the document - better error handling - fixed a small bug in receiving the reply - fixed the version number in the document - date was set incorrectly - file lengths were incorrect in the document --- V1.0 - the initial release Author: Heikki Linnakangas hlinnaka@iki.fi (http://www.iki.fi/~hlinnaka) ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 45 45 0.0% 20-Jan-98 20:27:56 FILE_ID.DIZ 8648 5579 35.4% 20-Jan-98 20:27:02 NTPSync 6722 1989 70.4% 20-Jan-98 20:24:08 NTPSync.c 3604 1844 48.8% 20-Jan-98 20:27:42 NTPSync.doc -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 19019 9457 50.2% 23-Jan-98 06:43:06 4 files
