Furlong/Firkin/Fortnight system of measurement; 1.2096 sec. (A furlong is
1/8th of a mile; a firkin is 9 imperial gallons; the mass unit of the
system is taken to be a firkin of water). The VMS operating system has a
lot of tuning parameters that you can set with the SYSGEN utility, and one
of these is TIMEPROMPTWAIT, the time the system will wait for an operator
to set the correct date and time at boot if it realizes that the current
value is bogus. This time is specified in microfortnights!</p><p>Multiple uses of the millifortnight (about 20 minutes) and
