Re: Retrieving Date and Time From The Internet

You guys never cease to amaze me. Well done! Now if a single developer can produce results like this overnight, I wonder why the very capable devs at RunRev cannot create a world time that does the same thing? Bob > Folks, > > this thread made me curious... > > I present to you a simple SNT

Re: Retrieving Date and Time From The Internet

Folks, this thread made me curious... I present to you a simple SNTP stack go stack "http://andregarzia.com/stacks/libNTPToy.livecode"; It is a quick and dirty implementation with no error checking. It has one function getTime(), you pass the NTP server and it returns the current date and time

Re: Retrieving Date and Time From The Internet

Okay, I contacted the USNO site via email and requested that they include the year in the returned date/time. I have a modified script which includes the year, but I caution you that the convert command is getting the current year from the system if it is not supplied, which defeats the whole
