Use time(), which is declared in and . It's the same as the standard C (C89) library function. (ftime() is System V Unix, and is deprecated.) If you want more precision, you could try a combination of time() and clock() calls. There are no other options for writing a *portable*, ISO-conformant time-sensitive program. However, if you're using a POSIX variant, you can try gettimeofday() or clock_gettime(). If you're using OSF, you can try getclock(). If you're using Win32, you can try GetSystemTime() or GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(). -- David R. Tribble, dtribble@technologist.com -- --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
