A binary executable replacement for the 'SynClock' DOS and AREXX
hybrid script that is a part of the AmiTCP package.  Synchronize
your local system clock and/or battery-backed clock with that of
a remote host.  Says it all, really.

History

V1.0
----
- Initial release, no known bugs.  Limited distribution.

V1.1
----
- Optimized executable compilation by utilizing inline library
  calls.  Shaved off around 200 bytes from the binary.  

- SynCro will return a specific code in the event of an error.

V1.2
----
- Optimized executable size.  Now down to 4.8K.

- Modified the ordering of the error-specific return codes into
  something a little more logical.

- Fixed a bug where SynCro would complain about an invalid FQDN
  argument, when the argument was indeed valid.

V1.3
----
- Optimized executable size.  Now down to 3.5K.

- SynCro now goes directly  through the "bsdsocket.library", as
  opposed to  earlier versions that used the TCP: device.  This
  affords the user several benefits:

    * Not restricted to only giving an FQDN as the reference to
      a remote site; SynCro will also accept an IP address.

    * No need to  mount the TCP: device if  SynCro was the only
      program that needed it.

    * A CONTROL-C from  the Shell that SynCro  was started from
      will now stop it dead in its tracks.

- Once more, several modifications have been made to the error-
  specific return codes.

V1.4
----
- Limited tester release.

- Problems arose when SynCro was used with the Multilink AmiTCP
  and RS225  emulator (in beta).  Thanks to Osma Ahvenlampi for
  pointing the deficiency out.

- If SynCro was unable to resolve the remote host, AmiTCP would
  not shutdown correctly.  This  was a problem with version 1.3
  of SynCro  not closing the  bsdsocket.library when it  should
  have done.  Any other time and it would have worked fine.  My
  fault entirely - it is now fixed.

- Minor changes to the error-specific return codes. Again.

V 1.41
------
- Modified  the  way the remote time is  processed.  Instead of
  relying on the location-specific  time string as received via
  the 'daytime' port, SynCro  now goes through the 'time' port,
  and calculates the  current time by  processing the number of
  seconds since midnight of January the 1st 1900.

- Because of the  above changes, SynCro now  requires the local
  system's GMT offset to be set within the Locale preferences.
