 How do you read server time on a Novell 4.X server

I am working on an application that is very time sensitive and need a
way for my Visual Basic app. to read the clock directly from a Novell
4.X server so that all workstations are in-sync with the server,
regardless of the local workstation time.

If anyone out there has an suggestions or where I can find more
information about doing this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
PA

Typically, the workstation clock is updated automatically, whenever a
login occurs. Is this not working for you?

 How do you read server time on a Novell 4.X server

Yes, the login sync was working, but changing the clock is so easy in
Win '95 after login. I figured it out though - All I had to do was use
use VB to start a Novell utility called SYSTIME.EXE from the public
directory and that automatically sets the workstation to the server
time. Then it was just a matter of putting the shell statements right
before time critical recording code :

        Shell ("F:\public\systime.exe"),0

and then terminating the shell program so it does not clog up the task
manager!

Thanks for your help anyway though.
