Atomic Time v1.1
Freeware by Tom Wuttke

NOTE this is version 1.1, version 1.0 had some problems in other time zones.
I changed the command line arguments because of this.


This is the simplest application that will synchronize your computer's
internal clock with that of an atomic clock on the internet.  If the time 
correction required is less than 30 minutes, it performs it without
asking (AND NO VISUAL FEEDBACK!!).  Otherwise, it warns you in case your
time zone or daylight saving time was incorrect.  Once it has synchronized
the time, the program quits so that it doesn't use any of your system resources.

It requires Win95 or WinNT, and you must have an active internet connection.

You only need one file, AtomTime.exe.  Put it anywhere on your hard drive
and make an alias to it in your startup groups.  I include instructions when
you right click on the file and go to the properties/version info page. 

The thing that sets this program apart from the other ones like it is its
extreme simplicity.  It is only 32K, it is free, and you get source code.

The default time server is tycho.usno.navy.mil, but you can use any IP address
(check out their web page!)

Here are example command line arguments you can place in a shortcut:

To set your clock 2 hours earlier than the server reports:
AtomTime.exe tycho.usno.navy.mil -120

To set your clock 10 minutes later than the server reports:
AtomTime.exe tycho.usno.navy.mil 10

To use a local server called mail:
AtomTime.exe mail

To use a server with an IP address:
AtomTime.exe 128.192.202.215


If the first argument begins with a + or - character, it is assumed that this is 
the minute offset, and that you want to use the default server.  THis will
set your clock 1 hour later than the time server:
AtomTime.exe +60
