The Mabry Software 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/X control requests the time from servers that use the
Network Time Protocol (RFC 1305) to synchronize themselves. A popular
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, including 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.
