- Short: V4.1 NTP clock synchroniser AutoDST/GUI
- Author: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young)
- Uploader: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young)
- Version: 4.1
- Type: comm/tcp
- Requires: Kickstart 2.0+, ARexx (included with WB2.04+)
-
-
- FACTS: A GUI-based sntp (network time) client for the Amiga
- -----------------------------------------------------------
-
- *** SUPPORTS SERVER LISTS ***
-
- This program will let you log on to any NTP server, retrieve the current
- time and synchronise your Amiga's clock with it. Supports sntp, time and
- daytime protocols on any port number with potential accuracy of up to 20ms.
- Lots of features!
-
- FACTS supports all TCP/IP stacks which implement bsdsocket.library v4.
- (eg. AmiTCP, Miami, TermiteTCP)
- It does *not* use the virtual TCP: device.
-
- Version 2 and above 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!
- FACTS 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.
-
-
