I just wrote a simple script that grabs the appropriate line from
the Navy's time page, then makes a string of digits out of it that
date can easily use.
I was going to write a litte shell script, and just wanted to make
the results of the rebol script usable by it. It might be as easy
as
#!/bin/sh
date < rebol-generated.txt
or
date << rebol-generated.txt
or
date | rebol-generated.txt
(can't remember which off-hand)
I don't think this will work quite right, though, becuse of the lag
between the execution of each script (the *.r then the *.sh)--the time
would be wrong by a few seconds.
does that make any sense?
