Thank you.  The above gave me enough hints to fill the bill.

set rt=%@time[%@word[-0,%@execstr[FFIND /k/m/r/t"RTime" C:\Fd\FD.LOG]]]
set lt=%@time[%@word[-0,%@execstr[FFIND /k/m/r/t"LTime" C:\Fd\FD.LOG]]]
  iff "%rt"=="%lt" then %+
  quit
  elseiff "%rt" GT "%lt" then %+
    set localadd=%@maketime[%@eval[%rt - %lt]]
  echo. %+ echo   The Remote site is faster by %localadd
  elseiff "%rt" LT "%lt" then %+
    set localsub=%@maketime[%@eval[%lt - %rt]]
  echo. %+ echo   The Remote site is slower by %localsub
  endiff

This is a "crude" snippet of what I'm working on.  I'll refine it to update my 
system time when required...

Thanks again.

           Cheers ... Gerald
