Stewart, LF,
In view of your comments below I had a look at the Windows XP method of
synchronising the PC clock, here are the first few lines :-
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Synchronizing your computer clock
If your computer is a member of a domain, your computer clock is probably
synchronized automatically by a network time server. If your computer is not
a member of a domain, you can synchronize your computer clock with an
Internet time server.
If synchronization is enabled, your computer clock is synchronized with an
Internet time server once a week.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
NOTE THE LAST LINE.
Once a week is not at all useful with most PC's & WSPR time accuracy.

"Dimension 4 uses one of a few well known and broadly implemented
internet protocols to connect with publicly available time servers that
have been operating on the Internet for over 15 years. These time
servers typically have their very own atomic clocks, or are directly
connected to other machines that do."
That looks like an NTP implementation to me. Most of these are a port
of the code written by Dave Mills' team at University of Delaware
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp.html
NTP is free in XP, Vista, Linux, OSX and most other operating systems
I can think of.
