I sent the following message Sunday afternoon. As it was not returned in
the digest, I assume it got lost in the ether. So here it is again.
Apologies if you already received this.

Dear Listers
I need to execute a function exactly once a second on the
second.
I dreamed up the following scheme which appears to function,
except for occassonal bursts of timing jitter of a few ticks
which could be a problem:
static void EventLoop(void)
{
the usual stuff
.
.
timeout = 75; //ticks = 750mS
do
{
EvtGetEvent (&event,timeout);
if ......
if ......
if ......
if (event is not premature);
{
poll until seconds counter changes value;
retrieve and display current ticks; // for testing only
do my stuff; // not included in test program
}
calculate new timeout;
}
while .... ;
}
Can anyone suggest a more elegant and/or possibly more precise
solution?
Please accept my thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
sincerely
Herb Valliant
