RE: No Escape - Internet-based atomic clocks

[David Troyer <dst@uni-muenster.de>]

I have read that Internet-based clocks do not always synchronize the PC 
exactly with the atomic clock, because of lags incurred during time-serving 
from the standard atomic clock through the Internet itself. As I recall, 
the time error is variable and of the order of zero to several hundred 
milliseconds, so one may have to be careful if a high degree of accuracy is 
required. Chris Albertson has also discussed the perils of SNPT vs NPT (two 
mails, RE: No Escape).

However, if these objections are not of consideration, then Tom could try 
'AtomTime' instead of Tardis. AtomTime is freeware, only 32 kb in size and 
the source is perfectly documented, so the executable can be tailored as 
desired.

Best wishes,
David
