Russet,

Thanks for the info. The mac's clock is set by the MC upon login. Slew
END times are sent to the mac from the MC. If the time is off, the
slew times will be off. I'll look into this.

Also, regarding the dots not marching during echelle readout that Chris
noticed last week. I tracked the problem to a change in Feb 2000 that
fixed the exposure clock continuing to countdown on a bias exposure.
The problem was that the echelle IC was sending the same message for
different things. The fix won't be noticed until the next version of
Remark.
