Hello, all,

I have been using !Freetime on my Iyonix for a number of years
You should be using the far superior NetTime module on RISC OS 5. This is still working correctly with various NTP servers.
Instead of crudely jumping the time to the correct value as FreeTime does, for small differences it smoothly adjusts the time to prevent abnormalities in program operation and logging. It then reprograms the timer chip interrupt rate to keep better synchronisation with the reference clock.

Thanks to all for your help.  John Ballance has sent me a copy of NetTime which 
I have set to run at startup instead of FreeTime.
