I've placed a beta version of PixelTime on two NeXt ftp archives.  It
is a utility which allows you to set your system time and date by
calling the National Bureau of Standards atomic clock via a Hayes
compatible modem. It is well known how badly the NeXT's clock drifts
and for stand alone machines which share development or other time
critical files, accurate time stamping is crucial. Besides, it's
always nice to

know you have the correct time and date. You can get this version of
PixelTime by ftp on sonata.cc.purdue.edu or cs.orst.edu in the
/pub/bin/submissions directory. At some point it will migrate to the
/pub/next/demos or /pub/next/binaries directory. Please kick it around
and let me know what you think. This version will expire January 1,
1993 and there's now way to avoid it by setting your clock back! I
forgot to give my hearty thanks to Eric Celeste for his vabluable
interface suggestions and for a suggestion for the application icon.
Please send any comments or suggestions to dnp@math.mit.edu


Enjoy!
