Re: Measure time

["Nate" <nate@uniwest.com>]

With you can get system time and then use the millisecond member in Win32...

<code>

SYSTEMTIME systm;

GetSystemTime(&systm);

/*
Can access members of the structure

systm.wMilliseconds
systm.wSecond
systm.wMinute
systm.wHour

... and yet more members ...
*/

</code>
