I wrote this about a year ago, and lost it a week after when my disk died :-(
This time I'm posting it before that happens :-)
Xtclock reads the time from PC cards that use TIMER.COM. I don't know
which ones they are, sorry. Also I don't know why I shar'd such a small file!

Xxtclock \- get current time from XTs hard clock
X.SH SYNTAX
Xxtclock
X.SH DESCRIPTION
X.I Xtclock
Xprints the time as kept by a clock card in some XTs. It is printed in the
Xsame form as
X.B date
Xneeds, so the following form of line may be placed in
X.B /etc/rc:
X.PP
X/usr/local/bin/xtclock | /usr/bin/date -q > /dev/null
X.SH BUGS
XIt is possible that the program will get the time or date wrong, as it
Xgets each field separately. However the chances of this are small.
