I mistook the latter as referring to the name "ntp" when, in fact, both "string variables" appear to have been assigned (by whom?) a common value of "University of Delaware." Overlooking this "string substitution" oddity, I now withdraw my cavils regarding ntp's status as open source. Regards, PS I do not, however, withdraw my earlier comments regarding the "political overhead" associated with the design and development of ntp. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
