    Question

    I need to be able to return frames from the system time. There are 29.97 frames per second, for you guys who aren't into the video world. I don't expect to be able to get frames directly from the system time, but at least if I could get the current 1/100 of a second, or something like that, I could do a calculation. Does anybody know how to get this kind of accuracy from the system time? Maybe an API or something?

    Thanks!

    Hey guys...

    I found the answer. It's an API call called GetLocalTime. It returns the current date and time accurate to the millisecond (I hope, anyways!)

    Thanks anyways.

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
