Short: V3.1/GUI - NTP clock synchroniser/AutoDST Author: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young) Uploader: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young) Version: 3.1 Type: comm/tcp Requires: Kickstart 2.0+, ARexx (included with WB2.04+) Replaces: comm/tcp/Facts3_FrenC.lha 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: * Remembers leap seconds, and will check that the time hasn't passed the next time you run FACTS * Fixed a bug where the Stratum 1 Reference would not display correctly. +-----------------------------------------+ |Unsatisfactory Software - "because it is"| |http://www.unsatisfactory.freeserve.co.uk| +-----------------------------------------+ ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 2756 1831 33.5% 07-Feb-00 22:10:32 facts3.1_clocksync.info 5845 2402 58.9% 28-Dec-99 23:39:30 +facts.cd 4552 2079 54.3% 13-Jan-00 17:37:02 +facts.catalog 75376 25663 65.9% 07-Feb-00 22:02:24 +Facts 69205 26713 61.4% 07-Feb-00 22:07:52 +facts.guide 2324 1861 19.9% 29-Dec-99 23:08:58 +facts.guide.info 4921 2174 55.8% 29-Dec-99 23:08:58 +Facts.info 1792 972 45.7% 07-Feb-00 22:01:32 +facts.readme 6165 2078 66.2% 07-Feb-00 21:57:34 +Install 2205 1588 27.9% 29-Dec-99 23:08:58 +Install.info 364 238 34.6% 03-Jan-00 16:56:26 +install.rexx 2146 1521 29.1% 29-Dec-99 23:08:58 +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 1340 973 27.3% 22-Nov-98 14:22:04 +WBRun 2756 1839 33.2% 07-Feb-00 22:12:14 facts3.1_clocksync.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 188543 76951 59.1% 10-Feb-100 16:04:24 18 files
