Nevertheless, Now() is the only portable construct available. Multiply it
with msecsperday and round to int64 if you need an integer value.
What about non-portable, e.g. unix-only? I don't see anything obvious in the
BaseUnix documentation.
That's because there is nothing.
Most platforms support get_clock() but in FPC this is linux-only, as far as I know.
I'm sure there's something in EpikTimer I could use, but I'm trying to keep
things fairly lean.
Last time I looked, EpikTimer used Now() on Unixes,
definitely if you were not on intel platforms.
But maybe the situation has improved meanwhile, you would need to check the code.
