Short: 2.3/GUI Syncronise clock with NTP server Author: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young) Uploader: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young) Version: 2.3 Type: comm/tcp FACTS - The Finest Atomic Clock Time Syncroniser ------------------------------------------------ *** FIXED AUTODST BUG - PLEASE UPDATE TO THIS VERSION *** *** See below for full details 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. FACTS2 supports all TCP/IP stacks which implement bsdsocket.library v4. (eg. AmiTCP, Miami, TermiteTCP) It does *not* use the virtual TCP: device. 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: * MAJOR BUG! When AutoDST was enabled, and you were in the month containing the start of DST, DST would be enabled at the start of the month, and disabled at the end. * More server info (database) * "Year 2000"-type compatibility modes * Support for half-hour timezones * AutoDST now supports Australia * Ability to check for a newer version of FACTS * Disable the Tools menu "Set Time" item * Changed the time display slightly * Hopefully made the guide a little bit easier to find your way around +-----------------------------------------+ |Unsatisfactory Software - "because it is"| |http://www.unsatisfactory.freeserve.co.uk| +-----------------------------------------+ ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1880 1001 46.7% 22-Feb-99 21:38:16 facts.readme 628 269 57.1% 22-Feb-99 21:40:38 Facts2.info 59 59 0.0% 02-Feb-99 21:42:18 +correctclock.rexx 58488 19147 67.2% 22-Feb-99 23:06:14 +Facts 36189 14829 59.0% 22-Feb-99 21:34:20 +facts.guide 635 309 51.3% 22-Feb-99 21:40:32 +facts.guide.info 3195 744 76.7% 22-Feb-99 23:07:00 +Facts.info 1880 1001 46.7% 22-Feb-99 21:38:16 +facts.readme 2395 1035 56.7% 22-Feb-99 21:39:36 +Install 637 350 45.0% 22-Feb-99 21:40:32 +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 -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 107691 39955 62.8% 24-Feb-99 01:06:40 12 files
