- PDCLKSET sets the time and date of the PC clock using a TIME server.
- It has daylight saveing (summer time) algorithms for most of the world.
- It can use BOOTP to get IP number and other info.
- PDCLKSET talks to the network card via a packet driver (using ODIPKT or
- DIS_PKT you can run it over ODI or NDIS too).
-
- PDCLKSET can assign the proper normal or summer time timezone name to
- an environment variable (TZ is used by most systems).
-
-
- There is also a very powerful built in ping/echo client and server giving
- important statistics on delay, load and packet loss. It can even load a
- network to the full Ethernet bandwidth. It can be used to stress software
- and hardware components such as driver routines, routers, bridges, repeaters,
- Ethernet cards and transceivers.
-
- The PDTBUILD program, which is included in the ZIP package, looks
- at all ARP broadcasts and generates hardware address tables with all the IP
- hosts on this (sub)net. It detects IP and hardware address duplication.
-
-
- And still, PDCLKSET is so small (14 KB) you can use it even on
- diskette-only PCs.
-
- For more info, see file PDCLKSET.DOC.

- PDCLKxxx.ZIP is available at msdos.ftp.sunet.se:pub/network/pdclkset,
- ftp.lu.se:pub/network/pdclkset,
- oak.oakland.edu:pub/msdos/pktdrvr, wuarchive.wustl.edu:mirrors/msdos/pktdrvr,
- ftp.funet.fi:pub/msdos/networks/pktdrvr, and probably other Simtel mirror
- archives.

- Happy timesetting!
