  So he can either lock himself into ACT as a vendor, or use one of the
previously mentioned utilities (e.g. see www.adapower.com).
  Of course Ada.Calendar.Clock returns a rather arbitrary number dependent
on the time zone and the accuracy of the system operator's watch and
the accuracy of the computer's clock, so it's a rather nominal source
for the actual number of seconds since 1/1/70 00:00:00
