Gary,
  You are correct about the Xt timers not being extremely accurate.  I believe
the correct questions are:
1)How can you get accurate timers in a non realtime environment(I assume you arerunning in a unix environment)?  You can't.
2)Assuming you could find a solution to 1, how can you get this to work in the
Xt environment?
