No installation is required. It is operated as a commodity +and is controlled by AmigaOS. An AmiTCP compatible TCP/IP stack is +required for AmiTimeKeeper to work. + +Several settings determine the behaviour. The settings are passed +either directly from the command line or by using the tool types of +an icon. Preferences can also be saved between reboots. A utility +for small tasks like starting and stopping is also included. +Comprehensive control is possible using ARexx. + +The default server address is pool.ntp.org. To find another server +try visiting support.ntp.org or one of the other sites listing time +servers. Use a fixed pool server by prefixing the domain, for example, +1.pool.ntp.org. + +The local time zone needs to be configured using Workbench preferences +or a similar tool. In AmigaOS 3.1 and 3.9 this is available through +the Locale Preferences Editor. Daylight saving time is only supported +through the POSIX TZ environment variable.
