I gave it a "shot"....  I tried the F8 on my host's address, but I couldn't get 
it to register....., so I guess, in the long run, the exercise was fruitful for 
me.  :-)

As a note, I added an "enhancement".

I aliased a *TEE /a C:\Fd\TIMELINE.LOG to all the screen outputs and that gives 
me a logfile.  From the logfile I should be able to calculate system time 
changes and frequency.  I may have to "up" the

  iff "%diff" LT "5" then %+

value a couple or three notches.....

 RZ> Sure, was a good exercise!  :-)

Exercise is good!  ;-])
