+Some major changes were necessary to make xntp v3 run on the DEC Alpha
+hardware running DEC OSF/1.  All "long" and "u_long" declarations and
+casts in the code were changed to "LONG" and "U_LONG" and a new header
+file (include/ntp_types.h) was added.  The new header file defines
+LONG as int and U_LONG as u_int for the Alpha hardware and as long
+and u_long for anything else.  A couple of #ifs where changed in
+ntpq and xntpdc to get the result of a signal defined correctly.  The
+Config.decosf1 file built the programs here with no problems.
+
+I don't have a radio clock here, so none of that code has been tested.
+I have run xntpd, xntpdc, xntpres, ntpq, ntpdate, and tickadj under
+DEC OSF/1 v1.2-2 (BL10).

+Support for NTP Version 2 is included with the current OSF/1 release. If
+you are upgrading to NTP Version 3 with this distribution, you should not
+use the xntpd or ntpq programs that come with the OSF/1 release. The
+older programs should be replaced by the newer programs of the same name,
+either in situ or via a link to a tranquil spot like /usr/local/bin. The
+make install script in the this distribution don't work due to a silly
+install program incompatibility, so you will need to copy the programs by
+hand.
+
+Don't use the setup utility to install or configure the xntpd installation,
+as it will cheerfully clobber your painstakingly crafted ntp.conf program.
+However, assuming you put this file in /etc/ntp.conf, you can use the
+/sbin/init.d/xntpd script to start and stop the daemon.
+
+This distribution compiles with nominal mumur with the stock cc compiler
+that comes with OSF/1.
