Subject: auto-clock-1.3.1.hqx
AutoClock version 1.3.1.
AutoClock is an application and a system extension that keeps your Macintosh's
clock right. As a matter of fact, this clock has the tendency to deviate from
the standard time every day, which can accumulate to minutes or dozens of
minutes after one year.
The AutoClock application allows you to:
- set the clock by calling a time server in Washington D.C., if you have a
modem,
- set the clock manually from an accurate source (for exemple a vocal time
server),
- display a logbook of every clock changes that occurs on your Macintosh,
whether they are done with AutoClock, or with another application (the
General control panel, or the Clock desk accessroy for example),
- compute the mean clock deviation of the Macintosh's clock for a 24-hour
period, using data recorded in the logbook,
- display the date and time in almost any country of the world.
The system extension AutoClock Extension can:
- periodically open the AutoClock application according to your schedule, to
perform an automatic clock adjustment by calling the time server, without
any user intervention,
- keep the Macintosh's clock continually right, by adjusting it using the
computed mean clock deviation,
- detect any clock changes done by any other programs, and record them in the
application's logbook.
Compatibility:
The AutoClock application and AutoClock Extension work on any Macintosh, with
System 6.0.5 or later, including system 7.0. AutoClock is 32-bit clean, and has
balloon help if used with System 7.0.
To set clock by calling the time server, AutoClock needs 1200-bps Hayes
compatible modem (Bell 212A standard). Extra serial ports compatible with the
Communication Toolbox are recognized.
