Well,it is clear ,but it doesn't work!
I'm trying to make a frames-per-second function in a graphics stuff.
I use _dos_gettime or gettime but neither works.
I allways get equal and,of course, wrong times although the first
gettime is at the begining and the other is at the end.
EX:
....
time start,end;
....
gettime(&start);
.....
.....
gettime(&end);

at this point start.ti_min equals end.ti_min and the value is totally
screwed up.
Any suggestions?
