Re: ✘ntpclient names

[Mark Atwood]

My own preference would be
ntploggps
ntplogheat
ntpmakeheat

eg.  {prefix}{verb}{thenoun}

"temp" is too overloaded as "temporary".

Short is not needed, the day of 15 character filenames and typing over a
110bps ASR33 with 500ms of lag are far in the distant past.

But that's just a preference of mine, GEM's proposal is fine.
