        !             2: 
        !             3: This is a distribution of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) Version 4
        !             4: sources and documentation. NTP can be used by Unix, DEC VMS and
        !             5: Microsoft Windows NT platforms to synchronize the computer clock to
        !             6: external sources of time, such as other NTP time servers or a local
        !             7: radio clock. The daemon included in this distribution can operate as a
        !             8: server, a client, or a relay from a set of servers to a dependent client
        !             9: population on a local net. This distribution includes the daemon itself,
        !            10: plus utility programs and supporting documentation.
        !            11: 
        !            12: You are welcome to the lot, with due consideration of the copyright
        !            13: information in the COPYRIGHT file. You are also invited to contribute
        !            14: bugfixes and drivers for new and exotic radios, telephones and sundials.
        !            15: This distribution is normally available by anonymous ftp as the
        !            16: compressed tar archive ntp-<version>.tar.gz in the pub/ntp directory on
        !            17: huey.udel.edu and <version> is the version number. The current stable
        !            18: and development version numbers can be found at <http://www.ntp.org>.
        !            19: 
        !            20: A considerable amount of documentation, including build instructions,
        !            21: configuration advice, program usage and miscellaneous information is
        !            22: included in the ./html directory of this distribution. The intended
        !            23: access method is using a web browser such as netscape; however, the
        !            24: pages have been formatted so that viewing with an ordinary text editor
        !            25: is practical. Start the browser on the ./html/index.html page, which
        !            26: contains additional instructions and hotlinks to the remaining pages.
        !            27: Some hotlinks for the larger documents, such as related technical
        !            28: memoranda, reports and papers, lead to other web sites where this
        !            29: information is stashed. We apologize for the inconvenience this may
        !            30: cause for users without Internet and World Wide Web access.
        !            31: 
        !            32: If you are an old hand and just want to build the distribution, you
        !            33: might find the INSTALL file a useful shortcut. A descriptive list of all
        !            34: files in the base directory of this distribution is in the README file.
        !            35: A list of "significant" changes for the release is in the NEWS file.
        !            36: 
        !            37: If you're interested in helping us test pre-release versions of ntpd,
        !            38: please look in <ftp://huey.udel.edu/pub/ntp/testing/>.
