[time-nuts] TSIP, SCIP time sync

I did some playing with the time sync code in Lady Heather (and made some tweaks).   You can force a time sync on demand,  once a minute,  hour,  or day.

Also you can cause an automatic time sync whenever the system clock and Tbolt clock difference exceeds x milliseconds.  Windoze reports the time to a millisecond,  but only increments the clock at typically 50-60 Hz.   That limits your absolute time sync accuracy.

If you have a slow machine,  the Heather window is minimized,  the command line help window is being displayed,   some graphics intensive screen (like the zoomed antenna plot) is being displayed, etc then automatic time syncs  might be triggered every second if you specify small values for x milliseconds since the program could be busy or asleep for more than that amount of time.
