There are actually two system calls you can make for timing purposes. One is the Intuition call, CurrentTime(&secs,&micros); the other, shown in the code, is DoIO() with a timerequest structure. The latter is supposed to be more accurate, but I didn't notice much of a difference between the two. bfw
