Hi

Is there any decent timers available for use with DUnix 3.0. I'm
using clock() now, but need something a bit finer, like RTC on IBMs,
If I must change this is some configuartion file then rebuild the
kernel so be it, but I need better than 1/60 sec to time anything
accurately. Incidentally the man page for clock seems to suggest that
clock() returns microsecs, failing to mention they come in 16666
chunks. A bit misleading if you ask me.

Regards,
Kev
