Thank you for kindly answering my questions!

I'm exactly just that right now. I've given up on using time.h.
So, I found trap_AAS_Time(). And, I'm moving to it.
However, I also need to write to files. I tried to add stdio.h. But, I got the
same problem as when I add time.h
Does ioquake3 offer File I/O capabilities as well?
Best regards!
