No, clock is a C89 function and available - but not implemented for all
platforms. One drawback is that - according to the standard - clock() measures
CPU time, not real time. But for the systems in question I think it this can
be safely ignored.

There are even platforms were CLOCKS_PER_SEC is determined at run time. Which
would probably the model to implement for most consoles.

BTW: Do you know who is responsible for the sipo.fi mail server? It seems to
be severly overloaded and there are long mail delays in regular intervals.
