Dimension 4...freeware, works fine, lasts a long time. (just not sure if
it works with that (IMHO) POS Vista).

It is yet another NTP (network time proctol) program. NTP requires and Internet
connection and Windows XP and later include one.

The Windows version supports synchronizing your clock, but not keeping clocks
in sync. It's fine for keeping your clock correct, but you need a better NTP
client if you have a need to keep many computers clocks within 10ms or less of
each other.

This may not fit the OP's requirment. I think he wanted a way of decoding
WWV's 60kHz signal, not something that runs over the Internet.

If the OP had to go without food and water for a year and post here in
a shortwave newsgroup I do not beleive he has any critical time
sensitive networked computers that must be accurately timed to within
milliseconds - LOL!

He's a silly shortwave listener who thinks his reception logs must be
accurate to within 30 seconds - LOL.

True! True!

Anyway I like Dimension 4 and one called Breitling, and a third one
named Advanced Time synchronizer.

I've been running D4 for nearly 24 hours now though.

Thanks for the assistance.
