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.
