For network time synchronization it is necessary to be able to speed up
or slow down the system clock. While UNIX systems provide system call
adjustclock() for that purpose, OS/2 does not.
I have played with the CMOS clock and even though I was able to change
the rate, the system apparently did not like it, and ran terribly slow.
Does anybody know of a way to do it ?
If not, could someone at Microsoft consider DosAdjustClock for 2.0 ?
