Resolution of SECONDS()

On Win 9.x SECONDS() has a resolution of 1 ms. On NT based systems, SECONDS() changes every 10 ms, as you can see with the following program:

For t=1 to 100
? Seconds()
endfor

On NT you can change the resolution for SECONDS() using the timeBeginPeriod API function:

Declare long timeBeginPeriod in WinMM.dll long
timeBeginPeriod(1)

Now SECONDS() increments every millisecond:

For t=1 to 100
? Seconds()
EndFor
