I know that there are ways of making UNIX boxes connected to a TCP/IP network set their clocks from a single point, but does anyone know a way for DOS boxes to set their time from a UNIX host over TCP/IP. DOS boxes will be PC/TCP and UNIX box will be SCO UNIX. Suggestions gratefully received before I attempt a solution myself. Thanks Andrew -- Andrew Hardie London, England ash@omega.uucp ukc!cctal!omega!ash

PC/TCP's SETCLOCK.EXE will query timeservers over the net (something makes me think the RFC was 768 - a simple UDP query/response). The MIT-CMU-Harvard PCIP distribution has the ancestral SETCLOCK. As far as I know, both programs require unaesthetic tinkering to deal with all the world's daylight savings algorithms... There is a p-d time server for 4bsd Unix, which we distribute on our PC-800 freeware collection diskette. I don't know how much effort would be required to port it to streams, but the original program is only about 200 lines of C. James B.

It requires a packet driver, is very small (7 kbyte) and fast (can be included in AUTOEXEC.BAT without noticeble delay). It knows a lot about daylight saving algorithms all over the world, but in the case of UK the implemented algorithm may not be true every coming year, lacking an officially defined dls rule. It requires an UDP/IP Time server, available on most Unix hosts.

Would anyone know of machines on the Internet that support the DARPA Time Server Protocol (timed; port 37) and syncronize their clocks off an atomic clock or some other accurate source?
