I just pushed two additions to https://github.com/pkoning2/decstuff :
In "patches" a new patch for the DEUNA driver. This fixes a problem seen when
doing user (as opposed to DECnet) I/O, as well as two errors that show up when using units
beyond the first.
Directory "ntp" is new. This is a simple NTP protocol client for RSTS, which
will synchronize the system clock with an NTP server on the LAN. It includes handling of
timezone rules, so the right thing will happen at daylight savings time (summer time)
boundaries. The clock is maintained to the full RSTS resolution -- typically 1/50th or
1/60th second, but can be as low as 10 ms if the KW-11/P clock is used.

This is awesome! Thanks, Paul.

Glad you like it. Comments welcome.
When I first posted this I still had trouble with the QNA driver. Those are now fixed
(patch file patches/xhdvr.cmd) so it now works on both UNA and QNA devices.
I've tested this in SIMH. I would expect it to work on real hardware too, but I
don't have any to try, so reports on actual machines would be particularly
interesting.
