Question Re: Real time clocks, out of the question?

Ahhh, that explains things a bit. I should have thought about that. RD16 two bytes wide, duh.

Thanks for that tidbit.

And the high and low bytes. In the wallclock code (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...t=wallclock.c), the high byte value is.... NEVER MIND

Someone can't count their zeros.

I still don't exactly understand what the purpose of the high and low bytes are. Is it like an loop condition? Above the max value for a 16bit number counts as an overflow and it resets, setting the flag with it?

THANK YOU
