Re: Questions about the Real Time Clock

Nikita,

Thank you for your kind explaination and suggestions.  I "think" I have 
is straight now.

On the BIOS issue...  I have Alphabios on my XLT, and the only access I 
have ever had to any clock was via the "BIOS" to define "now" (time & 
date).  I was lumping this in with the physical hardware "clock".  I 
assumed that any Linux software program like NTP, NTPDAT, hwclock, etc. 
was just making calls to the BIOS...  my mistake.  I told you I was 
operating at a high level of ignorance <grin>.

Cheers & Thanks Again,
