Short: V4.6 NTP clock synchroniser AutoDST/GUI Author: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young) Uploader: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young) Version: 4.6 Type: comm/tcp Requires: Kickstart 2.0+, ARexx (included with WB2.04+) FACTS: A GUI-based sntp (network time) client for the Amiga ----------------------------------------------------------- *** SUPPORTS SERVER LISTS *** 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.
