Well, uh, yeah ...
I appreciate you taking the time to look at my questions, but it doesn't really say anything about what I am asking. Wall time (or locally observed time, either of which is a better choice of words than "real-time" in this case) could simply be a particular number of ticks rounded to seconds and that value is initialized from some sort of real-time clock hardware when the Palm device is powered up. Or, wall time could be directly queries to the real-time clock hardware. If the former is the case, then there is always a direct relationship between ticks and seconds. If the latter is the case, then there is an opportunity for drift to creep in and there might not always be a known relationship between ticks and seconds. If the definition of the TimGetSeconds() and TimGetTicks() functions gave some guidance here, then I could just trust that each implementation (each version of PalmOS) did the right thing, but it doesn't. Is this something that Palm deliberately left open or just an omission? alan ---Original Message--- From: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Palm Developer Forum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 6 May 2002 15:11:17 -0700 Subject: RE: ticks time vs. secs time The tick clock stops while the device is "off", whereas the real-time clock obviously keeps going. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
