At a previous employer - they designed a external time reference that had some special features - It could adjust the speed of the clock to adjust to time changes. DST coming - run clock double time until you get to an hour ahead. fallback - run clock half speed till you match up. every so often they would dial out to somewhere to sync but it kept good enough time, it didn't happen very often.
I always wondered why IBM didn't provide equivalent functionality Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
