UNIX Review, Vol 8 No 12 says, in the Daemons and Dragons column, that RFC
1129 covers Network Time Protocols.  The article describes the time service
reasonably clearly, I think.  According to the author, he/they use xntpd
"written by Dennis Ferguson at the University of Toronto."  "To obtain the
xntp implementation of the NTP protocol, use anonymous ftp to louie.udel.edu
and look in the directory ~ftp/pub/ntp/xntp.  The distribution consists of 
a 49 KB compressed tar archive.  The distribution takes approximately 10
minutes to build on a Sparcstation 1." [typos, if any, are mine]

Author of the article was Rob Kolstad, who acknowledges help from Jeff Polk.
