1745.1Depends On Time Server...XDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringMon Apr 28 1997 12:3012
   I will assume you are looking to update the time on the local
   time server.

   Packages to drift the system time to the correct value (on the
   time server) are available via DECUS.

   The acquisition of the time can be anything from a few lines of
   DCL to a small program, depending on the format presented by the
   time server, and by the interconnect protocol used -- there are
   various time services around, some available by telephone, and
   likely some via known web servers.
