There is a document on Dave's web page which would be an RFC if certain 
people didn't insist  on a plain ASCII text format.   It's entirely 
usable even if it lacks the blessing of the RFC Editor(s).   If Dave 
says that's the standard, that's the standard!!!!!

There is an RFC for SNTP though I don't have its number at my finger tips.
