Re: [Freedos-devel] mTCP-2011-10-01 is available

SNTP is a small program that can be used to set the date and time on 
your machine.  It goes out over the network to an NTP server, which 
generally have highly accurate time settings.  (Many get their time from 
GPS clocks, or directly from NTP servers connected to GPS clocks.)

By the time your XT, Pentium, or whatever gets set it will probably be 
no more than a second different than what the rest of the known world is 
using.  I use it to ensure that my date/time are set correctly, and to 
set the date/time at bootup for my older machines that don't have 
clock/calendar time keeping when turned off.

On a side note, I found another Telnet bug.  In the same area of code I 
fixed last time.  I fixed it this time, I swear. ;-0  A new release will 
probably go out this weekend - yell if you have found any other bugs 
that need to be fixed quickly.  (I'd like the churn to stop ..  I need a 
break.)
