- AutoClock 1.2 — © 1991-92, Jean-Pierre Gachen.
- -------------
-
- AutoClock is an application and a system extension that sets your Macintosh’s
- date and time quickly, with a precision of one second, either at your request
- or automatically with a chosen periodicity. It does so by calling a computer at
- the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington D.C. This phone call takes just a few
- seconds to complete.
-
- AutoClock logs all clock changes, computes the mean variation of the Macintosh’s
- clock for a 24 hour period, and use it to continually adjust the clock in order
- to keep it right.
-
- AutoClock can also display the current date and time in almost any country of
- the world.

-
- Compatibility
- -------------
-
- AutoClock works on any Macintosh, with system 6.0.5 or later, including system
- 7.0, equiped with a 1200-baud Hayes compatible modem. AutoClock is 32-bit clean,
- and has balloon help if used with System 7.0. Extra serial ports which are
- compatible with the Communication Toolbox are recognized.
-
- AutoClock Extension requires System 7.0 for scheduled periodic connections, and
- continuous adjustments.

-
- Changes in version 1.2
- ----------------------
-
- New features:
- - Adjusts continually the clock using its mean deviation, allowing to save
- calls to the time server (requires system 7).
- - Records in the logbook every external clock change (with Clock DA, or
- General control panel for example) (requires system 7).
- - Recognize extra serial ports which are compatible with the Communication
- Toolbox (for example: QuadraLink from Applied Engineering) (requires
- system 7).
-
- Bug fixes:
- - With multi-monitor configurations, you can now move a window in any monitor.
- - Fixes an incompatibility of AutoClock extension with some extensions (for
- example Desktop Reset from Salient Software).
- - Fixes UTC offset for Alaska: it's UTC-9 instead of UTC-10.
- - plus other minor bug fixes...
