Hi, I'm just getting started with ntp and was interested in the latest
and greatest version of ntp s/w.  I know about louie.udel.ed.

xntp seems to be one set of source, and then there's some
ntp*.c files sprinkled around, as well as patches.  My questions are:

	What is the difference between xntp and the other ntp stuff on
	louie?

	Are the patches for xntp or the ntp stuff?

	What is the latest release, and I assume it's on louie?

	Should I use xntp or something else?

	And finally, how does the ntp DEC ships with Ultrix 4.x contrast
	and compare with ntp s/w available on louie?

Thanks in advance.
