An algorithm in an application I'm porting from SunView to X requires comparisons of event timestamps to the current system time. The evident X parallel is to compare event timestamps with the current server tick. Is there a way to directly retrieve the current server tick in R3? My apologies if this question has been answered already in this forum. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Rod Sprattling DialCom: 8*833-7054 sprattlingrl@crd.ge.com rls@onondaga.crd.ge.com uunet!crd.ge.com!sprattlingrl Courtesy is the grease that keeps society from seizure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there a way to directly retrieve the current server tick in R3? The ICCCM answers this: A zero-length append to a property is a way to obtain a time-stamp for this purpose; the timestamp is in the corresponding PropertyNotify event.
