Hi to you all, Can anybody tell me .. I decide to display a Realtime Clock on Screen. Is there any possibility to get the Systemtime from my Computer. I need the C Function supported by ANiPro Poco. Thanxs for your help

I wrote a Poco timecode/clock utility which I sell for US $25. The clock can be set for any time and increment in steps from 1/1000th to 1 sec per frame intervals. It may help you and has a lot of useful features like choice of fonts, colour, drag box etc. Look in library 2 (Autodesk Animator) for a full description in timecd.rls and a sample flic in tmcode.zip

Sorry, there is no clock function in POCO. The closest is the CLOCK1000() function that will return the number of milliseconds since AAPro was started, plus or minus 2ms. To achieve access to the system clock, you would need to create a POE routine to do this for you, which you would then call from your POCO code. POE is compiled POCO making use of Watcom C 9.0; that gives you access to the whole of 'C'
