[comp.lang.pascal] Need info regarding timing routines/programs accurate to the msec.

csachs@oucsace.cs.OHIOU.EDU (Colin Sachs) (08/19/89)

I need a software timing module accurate to 1/1000 sec for psychological
data collection on a PC.  I use Turbo Pascal 5.0 for most of my
programming but can write or incorporate 8088 assembly. 

The timer must start counting on the press of any predefined key and
must stop counting on the press of another predefined key.  I've
worked on a 1/100 sec timing module which captures the DOS
clock on an initial keypress and again on a later keypress.
The time delay is calculated by subtracting the two times and 
adjusting the result by a correction factor.  Unfortunetly, this
doesn't give me a sufficient level of sensitivity.

Does anyone know of a such a timing program or have the technical
expertiese to direct me to a solution?  Any help would be appreciated.

Please respond vi e-mail.  Thank you.
