Harlan,

I am uneasy about this. Somebody somewhere will buy an old TRAK receiver 
on eBay intending to hook it up to NTP. I suggest putting it in a ghetto 
archive somewhere along with other dead weeds and updating the 
distribution documentation with links. At least put a notice on the 
newsgroup.
