- TIMESET 7.21
- June 13, 1992
-
- TimeSet 7.21 is a maintenance version correcting a flaw in Version 7.20
- that prevented it from detecting nonstandard serial port configurations
- such as an unusual port address or IRQ number. This made it impossible
- for anyone not using a standard address or IRQ to detect connection with
- one of the atomic time sources. The flaw caused no problem for users whose
- computers have standard serial port configurations. There is good reason,
- however, for all users of version 7.20 to replace it with 7.21, namely that
- the precision and accuracy of time readings and settings have once again
- been improved significantly. With Tom Becker's RighTime 2.54 installed,
- trained for optimal clock drift correction and providing .01-sec resolution
- to the DOS clock, line delay calls made in quick succession to time services
- providing line delay measurement -- the NIST (Boulder), USNO (Washington),
- Tom's TimeGen service (Dallas), and two European services (Sweden and
- Austria) -- consistently agree within .01 second and very often agree
- exactly.
