- 4computer. If the times differ by less than a specified amount,
- 4(5 seconds by default) it doesn't set your computers clock.
- 4If the times differ by more than a specified amount (120 seconds by
- 4default), then FreeTime will bring up a window enquiring whether or
- 4not it should set your computers clock. (This is to guard against it
- 4setting the time to something totally wrong!) Otherwise, it sets
- 4you local clock so that it agrees with the time from the remote
- 4server, and brings up a window saying to - which disappears either
- 4after 5 seconds, or when you click on it.
