I agree with everything Martin has said, though IMO GetTickCount must return values in ms on every single platform and any that can't should have it removed. It's not a precision timer and it should not be an intrinsic for whatever random RDTSC-like instruction the current platform has. It's used for checking (rough) elapsed times. I honestly can't think of a single use for the current function as defined, especially in a cross-platform app. Precision and accuracy can vary, but unspecified units with no way to query them is ridiculous. -- Zoë Peterson Scooter Software _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
