Having used a clock synchronization program on my 3B1 computer,
I was pleased to see settime.c come across comp.sources.misc.

However, on compiling it, I found I was lacking the functions
dial(3C) and undial(3C) in my libraries.  I have the man pages,
just no object modules.  To confirm the latter, I did "ar tv" and
"nm" on all the *.a and *.so* files in my lib directories and
grep'ed for dial.  Nothing found.

O.S. Software is Dell's Issue 2.2 of SVR4.  I also made a cursory
check of Issue 2.1.  Nothing at all.  Should be in libc.

Does anyone know if I have simply failed to find them in some
"hidden" location?

Dell says they don't know, but will send me patches to the
C libraries.  They may or may not (Dell's comment) have the
functions I seek.

Thanks, Jon

Following up to my own article:

Shortly after posting my request for the location of dial(3C)
I received email from "mpb" at Dell support.  They indicated
that they were the "source" for my telephone correspondent's
claim that dial and undial were in libc.

mpb corrected themselves, noting that dial and undial were
actually in libnls.  That proved to be accurate.  I am
incredulous that my own efforts to find the functions failed.

Thanks to mpb/Dell support.  Now, if only I can get the nisttime
software to work, I'll be able to tell what time it is -- accurately.

No need for any followup's on my original request.

Jon

I hacked up the source to use 'cu' for System V machines.  Let me know
if anyone wants a copy.  It is not as accurate because all data passes
through a pipe from cu to the main program.
