1. Get time difference without time() (solved) [INFO]

for info only:
I now get the replacement for time():
global function timer()
if platform() = 2 then
return (c_func(define_c_func(open_dll("kernel32.dll"), "GetTickCount",
{}, C_LONG), {})/1000)
else
return time()
end if
end function
I got it from a VB mailing list.
It has 0.001 second accuracy, you can use it if you want.

I use that routine all the time in Eu Vs C
benchmarks...
It returns the incremented CPU tick count every
millisecond.

PS. But beware, it resets to 0 after 40 days... !

Be very careful with these benchmarks.
Multitasking distorts the results,
same about the exact delays.
Eu CE has no time profile under Win32 and Linux
just because of this reason.
