Net Date
This is netdate v. 1.04. I wrote netdate to synchronise my desktop PC's clock with my Unix server. The program requires that you give it a host which is providing the time service on Port 37 (most, if not all unix boxes). Getting time from a unix box you know is using NTP will give you the most accurate time on your desktop PC. This program seems to be accurate to within about +/- 1 sec. You must also specify your local timezone. Basically there are two methods for specifying the Time Zone. You can either setup a TZ environment variable in DOS (the hard way) or specify a city from the time zone drop down list box. I've also provided a method to adjust the time ahead one half hour for those of you living in Newfoundland, Bombay, Calcutta, Delhi, Rangoon, ... Our Review: This is an application for pinging a navy or government server and gaining a time setting. It will set your system time to the equivalent of the server. The idea works fine although this one has a little bug with datelines. On the whole though, it is very good.
