There's not much point in trying until IBM fixes the bugs in adjtime. Both the
unix ntp implementations (ntp from louie.udel.edu and xntp) compile fairly
easily on AIX/370, but the errors in adjtime defeat the timekeeping - we had 
our clock 90 minutes slow at one point. While awaiting IBM's fix, we run
ntpdate every hour.
