NTC FAQ's
Q. Why are there
3 versions?
A. The 3 Windows versions all have their own idiosyncrasies. The Win 95
and 3.1 versions of TimeSync NTC are basically the same but the Win 3.1
version has it's own support for Timezone built in because Windows 3.1
doesn't support it. The Windows NT version is quite different because
it runs as a service so it is still working when no one is logged in.
