- 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!
