Can someone post or email me a simple program that will allow me to
use the built-in clock in my computer as a stopwatch? What I want
to be able to do is to run the program, hit any key to begin timing,
and hit any key to stop timing. Sounds simple enough, but I can't
figure out how to do it. I've tried the Norton TM utility, but the
fact that it accesses the disk everytime it's run destroys the
accuracy. I've tried writing a simple BASIC program using the
TIMER function, but - again - I've failed. Not being able to do
what is evidently a very simple thing is driving me CRAZY! Thanks!
