Dear Listers
Can anyone tell me what happens in a Palm IIIxe exactly at midnight?
I have a real-time application that must operate regularly at one
second intervals. Within the event-loop I use the tick counter to
determine when I am within 10 ticks of the new second and then I
poll the second counter. At the second change I launch my control
algorithm. I do it this way because it was determined in a
previous thread on this list that ticks are not an accurate
measure of elapsed time.
This scheme works great except for exactly at midnight. I have a
one second counter that appears on the screen. It normally counts
very regularly. However, there is approximately a three second
delay following 24:00. The questiion is what is PalmOS doing at
midnight that interrupts my program and is there any way to
prevent it from happening.
Sincerely and thanks in advance for any advice
Herb Valliant
