Subject:	Rawclock?

Hi all,

I tried using rawclock() for nefarious purposes and got 0 for my
pains. Looking at the source for rawclock left me dead, it seems to
do, (what I would guess is an unsafe practice), a far peek into some
part of dos memory.

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

Should I rewrite rawclock to try a more standard approach via the
interrupt calls?

#include <iostream.h>
#include <time.h>
main()
{
  int i = rawclock();

  cout << i << '\n';
}
