It seems that milliseconds is more like seconds than ticks, in that it is
based on a fixed start time, while ticks is based on the moment the
program started. This is an important distinction when needing to
generate unique numers which may be persistent across sessions.
A few questions about these:
1. What is the base date for milliseconds? Does it vary from machine to
machine?
2. Is this the same base date for seconds?
3. Are ticks in MC truly relative to startup, as in other xTalks?
Thanks in advance -
