Hi there,

I'm working on a process simulator right now.
For that purpose, I need to change the system timer granularity.
Because, the default granularity of 54926 microsec using a standard
18.2Hz clock is quite high for my usage. This time interval is quite
large for Process CPU/IO Bursts generated in our simulator.

I know there is one extern long variable "__djgpp_ticks_per_clock" or
something like that in time.h. But this will work in only DJGPP
Environment.
But we're supposed to work on TC or Borland compilers.

Is there any generic way of changing the system clock granularity??

One more thing, is there any way of implementing this kinda thing in a
portable way??
