If i remember correctly, the one minute slip is caused by the fact that the one-bit-per-second message starts on the minute, but gives _that_ minute's time. So when you start receiving the message you should increment the clock and load it when the message has been received, this way the clock sets itself correctly but anticipates the next message while it is being received (assuming the next minute is the next one after the present one, always true except maybe for daylight savings). toddpw (Todd P Whitesel) @tybalt.caltech.edu
