Short: 2.1/GUI Syncronise clock with NTP server Author: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young) Uploader: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young) Version: 2.1 Type: comm/tcp FACTS - The Finest Atomic Clock Time Syncroniser ------------------------------------------------ *** No longer requires the virtual TCP: device! *** *** If the previous version didn't work for you, this one might! *** 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. 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) Changes since previous release: * Completely re-wrote the connection code to use bsdsocket.library instead of the virtual TCP: device. This will enable FACTS to work with more TCP/IP stacks (eg. TermiteTCP) * Supports the 'time' (tcp) service as well as 'daytime'. * Can now connect to any port, not just the standard ones. * Better timezone support and error messages * Remembers the Server/Amiga/Diff fields when hiding/showing the GUI * Cleaned up the GUI/added item to Tools menu * A few bugfixes +-----------------------------------------+ |Unsatisfactory Software - "because it is"| |http://www.unsatisfactory.freeserve.co.uk| +-----------------------------------------+ ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 628 266 57.6% 28-Dec-98 22:38:18 Facts2.info 33668 12975 61.4% 28-Dec-98 22:21:08 +Facts 23041 9592 58.3% 28-Dec-98 22:31:08 +facts.guide 635 313 50.7% 28-Dec-98 22:38:16 +facts.guide.info 3092 692 77.6% 28-Dec-98 22:38:16 +Facts.info 1800 915 49.1% 27-Dec-98 20:47:54 +facts.readme 2063 931 54.8% 22-Nov-98 15:08:40 +Install 637 345 45.8% 28-Dec-98 22:38:16 +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 -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 67269 27240 59.5% 31-Dec-98 16:12:44 10 files
