Well, I meant time-servers who support IPv6. 2All: my SNTP client is available for downoad at the Overbyte's Usermade page (demo included). -- Anton -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
Re: [twsocket] ICS-based SNTP (Simple network time protocol) client
So the SNTP component is already testing with ICS for IPv6? And with Delphi for Mac and Linux? I'm afraid I hadn't got your point. Especially concerning "Delphi for Mac and Linux". There is still neither Delphi nor ICS for Mac/Linux (and porting ICS may be a greatly complicated task). Actually, there is an ICS version for Linux :-) It is quite old now but still available for download. It requires Kylix to be compiled for Linux. Since MAC operating system is actually a kind of Unix, ICS for Kylix is likely to work without much changes when Embarcadero will publish his new version. IP6 isn't tested as wel as multicast because I haven't this technologies and servers nearby. Any Vista or Windows 7 has IPv6 installed. You don't need special hardware. -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be

Don't you use SVN locally for version control? I can't live without it, it's so easy with TortoiseSVN, and you do not have to run a SVN server in your LAN.

That is the issue with adding projects, the number that need checking and fixing for new Delphi releases and ICS features keeps increasing.

Re: [twsocket] ICS-based SNTP (Simple network time protocol) client
I don't think moving the content of the usermade page would change anything about update. I'm even less convinced that most of the "usermade" author would care about using a SVN to update their code. And I don't want to moved everything out of my website since I get some (small) revenue because of Google Ads. Each time someone clicks on an ad, I get a few cents. Not much money, but it pays the hosting. In the past I had several free hosting but each time I have been asked to go out because it was to much trafic for a free hosting. So advertising is needed to pay for the website. Would be good if more people click on the ads... -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be - Original Message - From: "Arno Garrels" To: "ICS support mailing" Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2010 8:06 PM Subject: Re: [twsocket] ICS-based SNTP (Simple network time protocol) client Francois PIETTE wrote: Do you want an entry on the "user made" web page at ICS website ?

I just completed a TSNTPCli class which performs time-sync with NTP servers. I guess it might be included into standard ICS toolkit. What do you think, is someone interested?
