Phil,

For several years, I've been using a program called Clockwatch to set the 
clock on my Windows 98 machine.  I got the program from Beaglesoft 
(www.beaglesoft.com).  I don't know if it's still available, but it cost 
$29.95 when I bought it.  Basically, it runs automatically and sets your 
clock via the Internet.  You can configure it to check your machine once a 
day, or every few hours if you have a clock that's prone to drift.  You can 
even run it manually if you want to, although I rarely found this necessary. 
Below is a list of features for the Basic and Pro versions:

I hope the program is still available.  I've used it for several years, and 
abandoned it only when I switched to XP a couple of months ago.
