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!
