Does anyone know of a bug in microsoft basic that makes the IBM pc
hang up while executing rapid clock accesse? 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,
