I'm trying to use the DOS timer in order to set up a task that runs every
60th of a second. Does anyone have software that does this and in general
how does one use the DOS timer to set up real time or pseudo real-time tasks?
What is the maximum granularity I can expect? i.e. what is the minimum time
slice I can achieve?

thanks for any help,
dave francis
