Does anyone know of a precise timer function to be used in Windows 95 with
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0? The provided standard library provides timing
as clock() / CLOCKS_PER_SEC but CLOCKS_PER_SEC is only 1000. So
theoretically this only gives a precision of 0.001 sec. However from
tests the accuracy is more like 0.05 sec (20 times worse). I know that
in some implementations CLOCKS_PER_SEC = 1000000 or a posible 1.0e-6 sec
precision.
Does anyone know of a way to get better timing precision in MS VC++ 6.0 on
Win95? Perhaps there is a third party library. I need these timings for
my research.
