I am trying to find a C or assembler routine that can do timing measured
in milliseconds on the PC.  The problem is unfortunately the PC system
clock is updated only 18.2 times a second, intervals of only 55 milliseconds.
I've heard there are routines to do this.  I don't know if the the PS/2 line
(386 machines) are bound by this limitation but my guess is that they are.
If you could help me with this I would appreciate it.
   You could leave a message or the code at RED6 at PSUVM.  Thanks!
