In 'timing is everything,' this posting just showed up on the DXbase
reflector. I think this program will work for sychronizing PC's over a LAN
in a stand-alone environment. I checked out the web site and looks like it
could be OK...

Another Excellent and Free (for non-Commercial use) time synchronizing
application is Tardis and can be found at:
http://www.kaska.demon.co.uk/
Runs on all of the Windows operating systems.
For those that are running NT or Windows 2000 (and Soon to be released
Windows
XP) down load their NT/2000 that broadcasts time over a LAN. Great for a
home
LAN, or a contesting LAN .
Tardis running on the NT kernel operating systems (NT 4, Windows 2000, and
the
near future Windows XP) sets itself up as a service (really nice).
Once engaged, you can forget about it being there.

There is an excellent and free program at:
http://www.oneguycoding.com/automachron/
Download the set up install (.exe) version.
To run it you must enter where you will get your time information by
clicking on 'Host..' and entering the time server you wish to use.
Here are some that have been available whenever I have requested:
tick.usno.navy.mil
tock.usno.navy.mil
time.nist.gov
ntp.nasa.gov
clock.isc.org
clock.via.net
You may choose to run it every now and then manually, to run at system start
up, to run periodically, etc. Its an excellent way to keep your machines
time accurate.
The program gets the time in GMT, if you have your system set up with your
correct time zone and with daylight time enabled, it should set you local
time correctly. DXBase2001 apparently gets its GMT time by a system call
from Windows as I can find no place where a user has to tell DXBase2001 what
offset to use. However its being done it works nicely.
