- Short: v2.7/GUI - NTP clock syncroniser/AutoDST
- Uploader: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young)
- Author: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young)
- Type: comm/tcp
- Version: 2.7
- 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!
