.TH Command UPDATE 
.SY "update \[\"request\"|\"cancel\"\]"
The `\*Qupdate\*U' command shows you the current time and date, plus
the time and date at which the next update will occur.  It also
reports the number of countries that have voted to have a demand update.

If demand updates are allowed (see info for the `\*Qversion\*U'
command and `\*Qhours-file\*U'),
you can register your vote to have an update by adding the
word `\*Qrequest\*U' after the `\*Qupdate\*U' command.
If you later wish to withdraw your request, use 
`\*Qupdate cancel\*U'.

You can use the `\*Qversion\*U' command to see how many 
votes must be registered before a demand update will happen.
The `\*Qcountry\*U' command will show you which specific countries
are currently requesting a demand update (they are marked with
asterisks).
