Short: SynClock clone for AmiTCP. V1.3. Author: izzy@ancient.demon.co.uk (Simon Dainty) Uploader: izzy@ancient.demon.co.uk (Simon Dainty) Type: comm/tcp A binary executable replacement for the 'SynClock' DOS and AREXX hybrid script that is a part of the AmiTCP package. Synchronize your local system clock and/or battery-backed clock with that of a remote host. Says it all, really. History V1.0 ---- - Initial release, no known bugs. Limited distribution. V1.1 ---- - Optimized executable compilation by utilizing inline library calls. Shaved off around 200 bytes from the binary. - SynCro will return a specific code in the event of an error. V1.2 ---- - Optimized executable size. Now down to 4.8K. - Modified the ordering of the error-specific return codes into something a little more logical. - Fixed a bug where SynCro would complain about an invalid FQDN argument, when the argument was indeed valid. V1.3 ---- - Optimized executable size. Now down to 3.5K. - SynCro now goes directly through the "bsdsocket.library", as opposed to earlier versions that used the TCP: device. This affords the user several benefits: * Not restricted to only giving an FQDN as the reference to a remote site; SynCro will also accept an IP address. * No need to mount the TCP: device if SynCro was the only program that needed it. * A CONTROL-C from the Shell that SynCro was started from will now stop it dead in its tracks. - Once more, several modifications have been made to the error- specific return codes. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 628 266 57.6% 01-Feb-95 22:01:10 SynCro1_3.info 3576 2433 31.9% 01-Feb-95 22:01:08 SynCro1_3/SynCro 12770 4660 63.5% 01-Feb-95 22:01:10 SynCro1_3/SynCro.DOC 465 228 50.9% 01-Feb-95 22:01:10 SynCro1_3/SynCro.DOC.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 17439 7587 56.4% 02-Feb-95 17:32:28 4 files
