To anyone whom this touches... Dec 13th, 1992
I am a Windows 3.1 programmer with a problem and I hope someone out there
can provide some assistance. I deal with sampling systems that require
very accurate timing for data collection. Currently, a DOS TSR is being
used to track the internal timer, this is done because Windows' own timer
routine is not very accurate in enhanced mode ( off by as much as
1 - 2 secs! ). Well the problem arises that we want to port this to NT or
add in other features and TSR communication is not worth the hassle. So
my question is can a device driver to hook the timer be a better alternative?
If so how would I go about setting this up and does any one have source to
do this? I already have a DDK, also which books would help in this area?
On this same package I am wondering is there any way to check the system
heap to see if I have any of my DLL's already loaded? Is it a function
call or one of those undocumented Windows funcs?
Many thanks in advance
