The Official Documentation for The NTP Reference Implementation (from
www.ntp.org) is maintained and distributed _only_ as HTML. Manpages are
not a part of The NTP Reference Implemenation Distribution.

Documentation for a selection of production (i.e. stable) releases of
NTP may be found at http://docs.ntp.org/.

Documentation for the current development snapshot of NTP may be found
at http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/ and is maintained only by
the NTP (R&D) Project's Chief Developer.
