[time-nuts] NTP apps on Windows question

[Chris Burford]

Yes,

You want to disable Windows Time service (w32time) if running the client 
from Meinberg. If you scroll down about 1/3 from the top of this 
document <http://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/setup.html> you will see where it 
makes mention to disable win32time.
