Problem with AT synchronisation

The SNTPCLN3 and SNTPCLN4 NLM's use a very low precision timer to way
for the next synchronisation event (24hours later) when using the AT
keyword in the configuration file.

This results in sntpclnt synchronizing not at the correct time. On
different systems this makes a difference of up to 15Minutes per day.
But it does not accumulate, so instead of syncronizing at 17:00:00 it
syncronizes at 16:45:..

I have a new implementation of this wait timer who work better. It is
currently in beta test, and will be released the next week.

I haven't got any other negative feedbacks on the NLM's until now.

One question who is often asked, is whether this NLM is certified or
not.
The NLM is definitely NOT certified by novell. The simple reason is,
that a certification costs 3000US$ or more. Until now I have not sold
enough copies of the NLM's to justify this additional effort.
