Re: Splash screen - Anybody know an easy way to determine how many seconds it's been up?

Why do you need it? Are you going to put a countdown on the screen and refresh it? If you use the timeout method, the system does the work for you.

Just throwing out an alternative: There was an old technique used back in the /36 days that used (IIRC) an ICF file as the timeout mechanism, with a $$TIMER format or keyword.

At this point, I'm trying to find out a way to determine how long the
splash screen has been up (once the program gets to the earliest
possible point for dismissing it), and I'm drawing a very large blank on
measuring a time interval in MI, without having to call QWCCVTDT twice
(which seems like an expensive way to do it).
