Short: V2.6 GUI/CLI based NTP clock syncroniser Author: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young) Uploader: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young) Version: 2.6 Type: comm/tcp FACTS - The Finest Amiga Clock Time Syncroniser ----------------------------------------------- *** AutoDST now checks every hour - *** if you never reboot your computer, you can still use AutoDST! A bit like "AtomTime", but on the Amiga... This program will let you log on to any NTP server, and retrieve the current time in order to syncronise your Amiga's clock with it. FACTS2 supports all TCP/IP stacks which implement bsdsocket.library v4. (eg. AmiTCP, Miami, TermiteTCP) It does *not* use the virtual TCP: device. Version 2 is designed to run in the background and adjust your system time when requested by you or an ARexx script, although it can still run as a CLI command in an identical way to v1.1 You do not need an Internet connection for this program to be useful! FACTS2 has an "AutoDST" feature, which will automatically adjust your clock and the TZ env-var to reflect the time shift. In addition, any alterations to TZ will make FACTS adjust your system time accordingly (can be disabled). Built-in SummerTimeGuard emulation enables YAM2 to automatically adjust for DST. Changes since previous release: * Completely re-wrote most of the documentation * UTC/Local/Menu now selects automatically depending on the service selected * AutoDST is now checked every hour * Fixed a problem with DST adjusting in the wrong direction * Various other small changes +-----------------------------------------+ |Unsatisfactory Software - "because it is"| |http://www.unsatisfactory.freeserve.co.uk| +-----------------------------------------+ ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 59 59 0.0% 02-Feb-99 21:42:18 +correctclock.rexx 67320 22575 66.4% 08-May-99 17:24:40 +Facts 635 307 51.6% 08-May-99 17:52:14 +facts.guide.info 3414 853 75.0% 08-May-99 17:52:14 +Facts.info 1755 912 48.0% 08-May-99 17:41:20 +facts.readme 2395 1035 56.7% 22-Feb-99 21:39:48 +Install 637 353 44.5% 08-May-99 17:52:14 +Install.info 365 238 34.7% 22-Nov-98 14:35:52 +install.rexx 1340 973 27.3% 22-Nov-98 14:22:04 +WBRun 56841 21715 61.7% 08-May-99 20:51:48 +facts.guide -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 134761 49020 63.6% 10-May-99 02:03:42 10 files
