I'm writing a time delay program and when i loop while reading the clock, the clock stops. I have printed the clock value to the screen. This results in long seconds and eventual death to the program. 1. Does anyone know why? 2. Is there a way around it. Any response would be much appreciated. Thanks, Owen Hartnett Brown University
