/***
 * This is an example program demonstrating how to use the TimeTCPClient
 * and TimeUDPClient classes.
 * This program connects to the default time service port of a
 * specified server, retrieves the time, and prints it to standard output.
 * See <A HREF="ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc868.txt"> the spec 
 * for details.  The default is to use the TCP port.  Use the -udp flag to
 * use the UDP port.
 * <p>
 * Usage: TimeClient [-udp] <hostname>
