I'm still trying to catch up on my "personal" mail...

I did locate an archive of a program that will connect with a time server
to adjust the system time (configurable from once an hour, once a day, once
a week, etc.).  Don't remember the name of the archive or where I found
it...  :-((

I vaguely recall that there was some sort of Y2K problem with one (or more)
of the Windows 3.x files and the particular file that I'm trying to find
was made available to address the problem of systems loosing time.  I'll
find it eventually.

           Cheers ... Gerald
