Reply-To: J DOT P DOT Fletcher AT aston DOT ac DOT uk

I have what I think is a solution to the problem with the TASKS
library from AETSK101.ZIP

The problem is that even after recompilation, the time delay
parameters do not work properly with the example, TEST.

The solution is to change the parameter converting from milliseconds
to clock() values.  This is easily done as a patch to TASK.CC as
follows:
...................PATCH for TASK.CC......................
417a418,422
> #if     defined(__GNUG__)
>     const clock_t  clocksPerMsec = CLOCKS_PER_SEC/1000;
>
>     return (msec*clocksPerMsec);
> #else
420a426
> #endif
..................End of PATCH for TASK.CC................

This works on both DJGPP Verion 1.08 and 1.09.

It may apply to other software which use clock().
