[time-nuts] Rb as source for ADEV?

Bob,

If you want a C++ class to talk to the Prologix Ethernet, I have one.  (I
don't have a USB version, but that would just be a matter of implementing a
simple subclass to do the communication with the device.)

I also have code that uses the above and talk to a 5335A and to a 5370A,
both of which like to sulk if you don't do things in the right order.

It's written for Windows and should compile in the _free_ Visual Studio
Express 2012 (it used to, but the last time I built it was with the full
version).  Porting to Linux/Mac/iOS would be easy enough... maybe I'll do
iOS for fun, if Xcode doesn't sulk and stays alive long enough that is; the
only thing Xcode does fast for me is crash!

Licensing for all but the findAdapters method will be LGPL once I put
headers in.  findAdapters() is derived from John Miles's GPIB library and
subject to its licensing.

Orin,
KJ7HQ
