Time/X
-
Version
1.00.010
The Mabry Time/X ActiveX control and COM object allows
you to retrieve the current Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
from time servers on the Internet. The time servers
usually have the correct time, since they all talk
among themselves to keep things accurate. Our
favorite server is the one at MIT (mit.edu). Another
good server is at "tock.usno.navy.mil".
You can use the Time/X control in any application
where you need to have accurate time/date stamps.
This includes financial transactions, medical data,
long-term data collection, or anywhere else that a
reliable time-stamp is needed. You can even use this
control to update the time-of-day on your systems and
servers.
The Time/X control requests the time from time servers
that use the Network Time Protocol (RFC 1305) to
synchronize themselves.
