I'm using $GETTIM and $SETIMR to read the system time and set an event
flag.  The result comes back in a quadword as the number of 100ns
intervals since 17-NOV-1858.  (Did they have vaxes back then? :-).
Does anyone have a routine, or know of a language that does/has
operations?  (Sample code would be wonderful, any language will do.
Ada preferred. [stop laughing])  Send code/comments to me.  I'll
summarize and post.

Thanks,
ted
P.S.  I know about $SETIMR(-x) which does delta timing.  I'd rather
not use it because of drift problems.
