ABSTRACT:
Contained in this file is the program SYNCTIME.  SYNCTIME is a NetWare
Loadable Module (NLM), which forces the server's date and time to be
synchronized to the hardware's clock at specified intervals.  This NLM
eliminates the gradual loss of time experienced by the server due to
"missed" clock ticks while the server is in real mode. The program is only
for NetWare v3.10.

This README file accompanies SYNCTIME.NLM for NetWare 386 v3.10.

SYNCTIME is a NetWare Loadable Module which forces the server's date/time
to be synchronized to the hardware's clock at specified intervals.  This
NLM eliminates the gradual loss of time experienced by the server due to
"missed" clock ticks while the server is in real mode.

The syntax for SYNCTIME is as follows:

                    LOAD SYNCTIME [DELAY=time]

The DELAY parameter specifies the number of seconds between clock updates.
This parameter is optional, with the default being 60 seconds. When
unloading SYNCTIME, it may take some time to complete the unloading process
(up to the amount of DELAY time specified).

SYNCTIME is designed to run on NetWare 386 v3.10a ONLY.  Any future
revision of the Operating System will require a new version of SYNCTIME.
