        The other files in this upload are Exactime.asm, a file in assembly
language for DOS systems using a CPU in the 80x86 family, and Exactime.bin,
the same file assembled, linked at converted to a .bin.  To use it in dBASE:

                LOAD Exactime
                Thistime = space(11)
                CALL Exactime WITH Thistime  && or ? call("Exactime",Thistime)
                ? Thistime                   && not needed using call()

        It uses DOS function 2Ch (44) to obtain the time accurate to one
tick ( 1/18.2 sec ), and returns this as a string HH:MM:SS.SS.  It does not
use the CMOS time if a CMOS is installed but only the DOS time, which has
presumably been loaded from the CMOS on startup.  Also, the values for
hundredths of a second are rounded from the ticks and are not contiguous.
That is, several calls moments apart would return values like this:
                09:21:22.03
                09:21:22.03
                09:21:22.03
                09:21:22.08
                09:21:22.08    etc.

        Time is returned in military, 24-hour, fashion.  The program is free.
