	The preferred way is to use the Xbtimer() Xbios call, using
timer A, which is explicitly reserved for user applications. If you
just want to measure the time interval, the easier way is to read the
value of the 200Hz system timer by reading the LONG at location
0x000004BA. Remember to do it in supervisor mode, or else you'll
get bombs. If you need examples of the use of either of the two
techniques just send mail.
