[comp.lang.c] millisecond timer

woody@eos.UUCP (Wayne Wood) (02/09/90)

okay, i've heard the msdos gurus out there tell me 1000 ways not to do this...
can anybody tell me **HOW** to do it?

i need to be able to take millisecond measurements for a "real-time" project...
i'll take C, Assembler, or <shudder> Pascal.  just explain what i have to
do where to make the damn thing work without screwing up my disk drives or
memory refresh.

currently i'm using the screen retrace, but it don't cut it.
