	You should have received the file "fixRTC.c" by now.  I used
	to have it in a shar with instructions but, ... 

	I'm curious about the errors y'all are having; my system runs
	about 30 sec/wk fast and varies with season.  I've been keeping
	up with the rate for a good while now and my guess is that temp
	is the variable.  Anyway, fixRTC keeps my system running within
	about 5 secs of the WWV times if I check and diddle it monthly.
	Who else has some data?
