----

Prerequisites:

This program runs under any OS,
(e.g. Win2K/XP/Vista/OSX/Linux/Solaris/Vista64/AIX...) so long as you have
<><> Java version 1.5 <><> or later installed.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html for details.

----

Installing:

Download source and compiled class files to run on your own machine as a Java Web Start application.
First install a recent Java JDK or JVM.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html.
To install, extract the zip download with Winzip
(or similar unzip utility) into any directory you please,
often J:\ --  ticking off the <i>&ldquo;user folder names&rdquo;</i> option.

To run the JAWS application, modify the jnlp file to look in the right place for its files, then type:
javaws J:\com\mindprod\setclock\setclock.jnlp

adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is.

----

Rebuilding:

The zip already contains the necessary class and jar files, so unless you modify
the program, there is no need to recompile the source or rebuild the jar.
Configure basedir="E:/" in rebuild.xml to the drive where your files are.
Configure your certificate name with environment SET cert=mindprodcert2008dsa
Configure your certificate password with environment SET jarsignerpassword=sesame
Use ANT and rebuild.xml, not build.xml, to recompile and recreate the jar.

----

Use:


Set your PC Clock from an accurate atomic clock on the web.
You can put in on your website so that others can use it to
correct their clocks without having to install software or
without you having to install software on your server.

Only works on Windows.

Full Java source code included, and native C JNI code.

If you run the code as a standalone application, make sure
you extract the pcclock.dll and put it somewhere on your
path, the path, not the classpath.

Why the clock icon?  It should be too obvious to explain.
