            US Naval Observatory Time Utilites for AmigaDOS
            -----------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION
-----------
    This is an Amiga port of routines from the US Naval Observatory.

    UTILITIY  FUNCTION                        POST ADDRESS
    --------  ------------------------------- ---------------------------
    timec     check time from remote service; "time"    on port    37/tcp
    time_chk  check time from remote service; "timesrv" on port 22375/tcp
    time_set  set   time from remote service; "timesrv" on port 22375/tcp
    timesrvd  serve time to   remote client ; "timesrv" on port 22375/tcp


REQUIREMENTS
------------
    These routines were compiled and tested on an A3000 with AmigaDOS
V2.1 and AmiTCP V4.2 (commercial).  The source is provided and should
be easily adapted for AS225.

INSTALLATION
------------
  1 Copy the utilities in usno/bin to AmiTCP:bin.
  2 Copy the daemon in usno/serv to AmiTCP:serv, if you wish to serve time.
  3 Add the following line to AmiTCP:db/services:

    timesrv         22375/tcp                       ; time server process

EXAMPLES
--------
    Set local time to USNO time using "timesrv" & port 22375/tcp:

  > time_set tick.usno.navy.mil  ; sets local time to USNO time


    Check local time with USNO time using "timesrv" & port 22375/tcp:

  > time_chk tick.usno.navy.mil
    Local Time.....: Sat Nov 04 00:36:42 1995 at aww.com
    Remote Time....: Sat Nov 04 00:36:42 1995 at tick.usno.navy.mil
    Local - Server.: 0 secs


    Check local time with USNO time using "time" & port 37/tcp:

  > time_chk tick.usno.navy.mil  ; checks local time with USNO time
    Local Time.....: Sat Nov 04 00:38:41 1995 at aww.com
    Remote Time....: Sat Nov 04 00:38:42 1995 at tick.usno.navy.mil
    Local - Server.: -1 secs

BUGS
----
    I had to _reset_ my GMT offset in the Locale Preference.  If you
receive funny times try changing highligt on Locale's map back and
forth.

DEVELOPERS
----------
    The makefiles and source for these utilities is included.  They
were compiled with SAS/C V6.55.  The makefiles assume the AmiTCP
development files are organized as follows:

    AmiTCP:
    |
    ---> AmiTCP:dev
         |
         ---> AmiTCP:dev/include
         |
         ---> AmiTCP:dev/lib
         |
         ---> AmiTCP:dev/src
             |
             ---> AmiTCP:dev/src/usno

    Note: I've moved the default location of AmiTCP:include,
AmiTCP:lib and AmiTCP:src to AmiTCP:dev as a personal preference.

    These files were obtained from ftp://tycho.usno.navy.mil.

    Mia culpa, I changed the names a bit and restructured the code to
suit my tastes.
