At the moment, Ole, I'm a few hundred miles away from home on vacation, but
fortunately, I'm able to dial in with Net-Tamer once per day (at the home of
my parents) and check up on my e-mail. I'm not terribly ambitious right now
<g>, but maybe my own DOS time setting program will be of help to you.
The program I use is shareware that I've used for several years to dial into
that atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado, on a weekly basis to always keep my
time correct within seconds. It is called PCCLOCK, and if I'm not mistaken,
it's still available somewhere on a website or one of the major DOS
repositories (Simtel, Garbo). The version I'm using is v3.05 from 1991,
1993, by M. J. Sadaway. You should be able to find it easily by searching
Yahoo for it with this information. I recall that it cost me about $15.00.
I'm not certain, though, how it will work after the year 2000 rolls over.
If it doesn't work properly after that, I'm sure there's other
shareware/freeware programs out there for DOS that will do so. I'd look for
you now, but I don't want to do any web browsing on vacation using long
distance expenses (and my connection here is not that fast or secure -- but
it's ok and fun to try out e-mail with my Toshiba notebook away from home
<g>).
If you can get this program, it works fine under DOS or under a DOS Window
in the various Windows versions -- at least with the several machines I've
used.
