Short: V2.7/GUI - NTP clock syncroniser/AutoDST
Author: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young)
Uploader: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young)
Version: 2.7
Type: comm/tcp
Requires: Kickstart 2.0, ARexx
FACTS: the only gui-based sntp client available for the amiga
-------------------------------------------------------------
*** NEW ANINC TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS FACTS TO GUESS ANOTHER LOCAL SERVER
*** IF THE SPECIFIED ONE FAILS!
This program will let you log on to any NTP server, retrieve the current
time and syncronise your Amiga's clock with it. Supports sntp, time and
daytime protocols on any port number with accuracy of up to 20ms. Lots of
features!
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). Built-in SummerTimeGuard emulation enables
YAM2 to automatically adjust for DST.
Changes since previous release:
* New default port checkbox
* If a time request fails, the new Aninc(tm) technology can check a second
local server without you needing to type any addresses!
* When using SNTP, FACTS will now set your system clock with accuracy to
within about 20ms
(system time only - BattClocks are only ever accurate to 1 second)
* Verifies default port numbers with your TCP/IP stack on startup (if
available)
* Made the code a bit shorter. More code clean up is necessary!
