I am writing a clock application (MultiFinder aware) and I have a problem how to check an alarm. The current version is I keep comparing the alarm againts the current time while I am idle (no event pending). My questions are : How do you check the alarm in the most efficient way? By this I mean I won't miss the alarm no matter where I am or what other programs are doing (in background, in foreground). If I have to use clock/time interrupt, how could I do it? (sample of code will be appreciated). What documentation do I have to read? Thank you very much in advance. Zikif Hamdy hamdyz@prism.cs.orst.edu ----------------------------
