Hi,

I have a problem: I want to have a piece of code (written in TurboC) to
be installed as an interrupt such that after a certain number of clock
ticks the code is executed. This way I can be sure that certain polling
actions are done with regularity without my having to check the rest of
the code. I am sure somebody has to have done this before. I wonder if 
somebody could give me a hint on how this could be done -preferably
using only TurboC (i.e. the getvetc(), setvect(), routines and a
function of the type void interrupt). 

Thanks,
