    10 millisecond resolution would suffice.

    Cheers

    "error_code" from <types.h> in the Ultra-C compiler.

    The error_code returned will be 0 if no error occurred. The OS9 Technical Reference manual has a section on processing the returned error_code value.

    For reading the time, hopefully, no error occurs, 0 returned, thus the value can be ignored.
