That sounds like EXACTLY what I want to do.... ummm.... now how do I do
that? In the Bios? In the OS? In Ada? Where and how? (code would be
really nice)
Now, I am meaning for this to run on Win95, but I thought that
Ada.Calendar.Clock is "presice" enough, but the date it reads is the EXACT
same value from the system clock for 55 milliseconds at a time, that is the
problem. I dont think its Ada.Calendar's fault, because you can subtract
time types and get really "precise" floating point numbers, so that is not
the issue, I need the faster (umm, more frequent) clock interrupts, how is
that done?
