[ct-user] CT Clock

[Ed Parish K1EP]

This is usually the problem in CQWW Phone, when we switch to (or is it from) Daylight Savings Time.  If you have booted the machine directly into DOS, it should just be a factor of the computer's clock.  What you may find is that the battery that runs the clock in your computer is on the way out.  You might want to check that.  Even with a decent battery, my 486 CT machine would lose several minutes during a weekend.  What I decided to do this contest was network that machine to another machine that was running CTWIN in Win98SE that also had a NTP (network time protocol) client.  The program would automatically adjust the time within seconds.  I set the CTWIN to be station 1, so that it would propagate the time to the other machine.  Worked great.  As a bonus, you have a backup on the CTWIN computer.
