The stopwatch is quite accurate in the simulator when you are running. It does exhibit some errors while single stepping in emulator or simulator mode due to the way breakpoints are set. If you want to time a routine, do not step through it, but zero the timer out at a breakpoint at the start, set a breakpoint at the end, and use Debug>Run>Run (almost like a Phil Spector song, if you're old enough to remember pop music)... -- ___________________________ | Darrel Johansen | | tempe, arizona | | darrelj@primenet.com | |_________________________|
