Thanks to ROCK for identifying the preferred timer for
DirectDraw ( use QueryPerformanceFrequency followed
by QueryPerformanceCounter) - this will use your
real time clock (if you have a pentium-class or above).
The type of parameter is a 64-bit integer typedef'd as
LARGE_INTEGER, which is based on a LONGLONG,
which is typeded'f as " hyper ". I cannot find any reference
to the type " hyper " in the entire win32api (please tell me
where if you find it), and I can't seem to find any fundamental
math functions for LARGE_INTEGER. Anyone know
where to find a package that has the basic arithmetic
worked out for these 64-bit integers? You can't even
send these values to COUT<< because the overload<br>
<< is not defined for LARGE_INTEGER. If there is no<br>
such package, then I will have to struggle to code it
up myself - help, help, help.
