+=================== Time Service Test =====================================
+
+A sample run of the TimeService can be done as follows :
+
+* Using the Naming Service :
+
+1. Run TAO/orbsvcs/Time_Service/server on different machines.
+2. Run TAO/orbsvcs/Time_Service/clerk -t 5 on some machines.
+3. Run the TAO/orbsvcs/tests/Time/client on one of the machines where a clerk
+   is running.
+
+* Using Files :
+
+1. Run TAO/orbsvcs/Time_Service/server -o server_ior on different machines.
+2. Run TAO/orbsvcs/Time_Service/clerk -t 5 -f server_ior -o clerk_ior on some
+   machines.
+3. Run the TAO/orbsvcs/tests/Time/client -f clerk_ior on one of the machines
+   where a clerk is running.
+
+* Using the Implementation Repository :
+
+1. Run the Implementation Repository service as :
+
+   TAO/orbsvcs/Time_Service> ../ImplRepo_Service/ImplRepo_Service -ORBsvcconf
+                             implrepo.conf -ORBobjrefstyle url -d 1
+
+2. Run the Server as
+
+   TAO/orbsvcs/Time_Service> server -o server_ior -r -i
+
+3. Run the Clerk as
+
+   TAO/orbsvcs/Time_Service> clerk -f server_ior -t 5 -o clerk_ior
+
+4. Run the client as
+
+   TAO/orbsvcs/tests/Time/client -f clerk_ior
+
+Algorithms
+----------
+
+Currently, updating the system time involves taking the average of all
+the times received from the servers. This can be extended by using a
+more elaborate distributed time synchronization algorithm.
