Terminate?  The comm program written by Bo Bendtsen?

No padding was done for the quoting.  Excerpt pasted directly from my FrontDoor 
(mailer program) log file....

A +/- 1 second accuracy is certainly something that I can live with; much 
better than being +/- 2 or 3 minutes.  Got to work on obtaining a "condensed" 
FrontDoor log file containing the RTime and LTime before I do the number 
routine and clock setting....

           Cheers ... Gerald
