There is now a fix available for the kernel time routines in RS/6000 AIX--
request APAR A12990.

A version of xntp is available via anonymous ftp from merit.edu (35.1.1.42)
on pub/xntp/xntp.rs6000.tar.Z.  Perhaps Dennis will retrofit the occasional
mods into his distribution version...
 
Seems to work OK.  I'll let the hardcore types pass judgement on its accuracy.
The fact that the clock can only be slewed in 1 msec chunks does limit
things a bit, but for most of us it should do the job just fine.
 
A slightly incredulous thanks to folks in Yorktown and Austin for making the
fix.
