In pursuit of learning something new, I have created an addon for synching system time
attached to this e-mail is one zip file that contains 3 files. 1. tsync.js - put this in addons\timesync folder 2. tsync.xml - put this in addons\timesync folder 3. CTimeSynch.zip - unzip this. put the ocx file in your system32 directory and run regsvr32 on it. (let me know if you need help with this). in your localprefs.js file you MUST name your default time server, similar to this ServerName="time.nist.gov"; Then reload dqsd and enter either of the following in DQSD to sync with default server enter: tsync to sync to a specified server enter: tsync clock-1.cs.cmu.edu A couple of issues... 1. Like Brent's Bookmarks addon, this prompts you to permit the activex control the first time on every DQSD reload. Any work around yet? 2. Anyone feel free to clean up the code and/or verify that it does what I think it does. 3. Anyone able to help handle if no default server is set in localprefs.js and none is specified when invoked? 4. Anyone able to help put together an install and post it to SF as a downloadable file? If any of these files Thanks, JB John W. Bairen, Jr. www.bairen.net
