Short: TCP/IP utils to set/check time from USNO
Author: Port by Rick O'Sullivan, original by USNO timekeepers.
Uploader: rosully@aww.com (Rick O'Sullivan)
Type: comm/tcp
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.
