The problem isn't with HyperCard, which just asks the OS for the information. The problem is that some background processes that can cause the tick count to be thrown off, so relying on ticks for precise timing accuracy isn't a good idea. Ticks are accurate enough for general polling though, where small time deviations aren't important. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
