[comp.sys.ibm.pc] System clock: how to read it?

arti@vax1.acs.udel.EDU (Arti Nigam) (01/26/89)

Hi.  I am using a PC-AT to control some equipment and record
data at fixed intervals, and I have been using a clock board to
give 'wait x mseconds' commands, etc.  I would like to be able
to use the system clock instead.  But I don't know how to read
the system clock.  Does someone have any procedures, or can 
someone give me some clues, that would help me do that?

(I am programming in TurboPascal, if that is relevant.)  Any help
will be appreciated.

Thanks,
