Several months ago I modified the "utc" program that was posted to, perhaps, comp.sources.misc, to correct the problem. I run the corrected version every Sunday morning; it calls the US Naval Observatry in Washington, DC and adjusts BOTH the time-of-day-clock AND the battery-backed real-time-clock. I'll be posting this shortly to unix-pc.sources; been working the proverbial 25 hrs/day, 7 days/week recently and need to first catch up on the 50+ newsgroups to which I subsribe.
