Short: V3.0/GUI - NTP clock synchroniser/AutoDST Author: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young) Uploader: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young) Version: 3.0 Type: comm/tcp Requires: Kickstart 2.0+, ARexx (included with WB2.04+) FACTS: A GUI-based sntp (network time) client for the Amiga ----------------------------------------------------------- *** NOW ADJUSTS FOR LEAP SECONDS *** This program will let you log on to any NTP server, retrieve the current time and synchronise your Amiga's clock with it. Supports sntp, time and daytime protocols on any port number with potential accuracy of up to 20ms. Lots of features! FACTS supports all TCP/IP stacks which implement bsdsocket.library v4. (eg. AmiTCP, Miami, TermiteTCP) It does *not* use the virtual TCP: device. Version 2 and above 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! FACTS 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: * Now acts upon leap seconds * Added "check services exhaustively" feature * Added "long tz format" options (no more ENV:TZ problems... I hope) * Changed a couple of the DST zones (NB: Please check you are still set to the correct zone if upgrading from a previous version) * Improved TIMESERVER config file for better CLI handling and future servers list * Included a fixed French catalog and new German catalog * Can now zoom (minimise) the window * Shows updating time on minimised window and on GUI * Added "Synchronise Now" option to the notification window about DST * Fixed a problem with "invisible menus" * Included new ARexx script and WB3.5 GlowIcons style icons +-----------------------------------------+ |Unsatisfactory Software - "because it is"| |http://www.unsatisfactory.freeserve.co.uk| +-----------------------------------------+ ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 5845 2402 58.9% 28-Dec-99 23:39:30 +facts.cd 4570 2180 52.2% 03-Jan-00 16:33:42 +facts.catalog 74596 25418 65.9% 06-Jan-00 21:43:38 +Facts 69230 26733 61.3% 06-Jan-00 21:40:20 +facts.guide 2324 1861 19.9% 06-Jan-00 21:43:00 +facts.guide.info 4921 2173 55.8% 06-Jan-00 21:43:00 +Facts.info 2272 1211 46.6% 06-Jan-00 21:41:16 +facts.readme 6133 2043 66.6% 03-Jan-00 16:56:08 +Install 2205 1588 27.9% 06-Jan-00 21:43:00 +Install.info 364 238 34.6% 03-Jan-00 16:56:26 +install.rexx 2146 1521 29.1% 06-Jan-00 21:43:00 +Rexx.info 59 59 0.0% 02-Feb-99 21:42:18 +correctclock.rexx 2979 2254 24.3% 29-Dec-99 22:15:36 +correctclock.rexx.info 779 451 42.1% 29-Dec-99 22:11:40 +Facts.miami 2979 2255 24.3% 29-Dec-99 22:15:36 +Facts.miami.info 4448 2873 35.4% 01-Apr-99 20:18:34 +Version 3405 1529 55.0% 03-Jun-99 20:19:58 +Version_ReadMe 1340 973 27.3% 22-Nov-98 14:22:04 +WBRun 2756 1836 33.3% 06-Jan-00 21:43:04 facts3_clksync.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 193351 79598 58.8% 07-Jan-100 23:58:24 19 files
