[ct-user] CT-User Digest, Vol 71, Issue 15

[Thomas Gries]

Rich,

I have good experience with a simple clocking free ware program 
called net clock sync exe. It adjusts the internal clock (and thus 
the ct-clock)automatically in regular and selectable intervals. The
reference time can be selected from several internet clocks.

See http://netclocksync.software.informer.com/

I have been using CT (9 for DOS) for years but on older machines under 
the Windows 98SE OS.  I have up-graded my PC hardware and now have two 
newer machines running under Windows XP.  CT works fine on these machine 
with the exception of the clock-time stamp information.  While the PCs 
do keep the correct time, once CT is launched the CT clock runs slow 
with respect to real time.  After a few hours the displayed CT time lags 
the real time by several minutes.  I can easily lose an hour over 
night.  This is a disaster for a weekend contest.

Has anyone else observed this issue?  If so, is there a fix?

I would try the latest version of CT (10) or even CTWIN but I understand 
that the log format is not the same as the one used in CT9 and I'm not 
thrilled about doing a lot of conversions.

Thank you,
Rich W3RJ

CTWin9 binary files are 100% compatible with CT for DOS Version 9.
CTWin10 binary files are 100% compatiblie with CT for DOS Version 10.

Download either windows version from
http://www.k1ea.com/download/index.htm#WINDOWS

If the clock problem is still there, you can always double click the Windows
Clock in the lower-right corner of the Windows task bar, then select the 3rd
tab,m "Internet time", to reset your PC clock over any current Internet
connection.

Are you running CT9 or CTWin9?  Running DOS CT in Windows environment 
will most likely cause the timing problem.  Upgrade to V10 and run 
CTWin in Windows or CTDos in DOS.
