RE: timestamp, microsecs.

["Hatzenbeler, Tim" <thatzenbeler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 'gettimeofday' is the routine I remember...  I thought it was a "C"
binding call, but I was wrong... But the question comes to mind...

Software clock vs Hardware clock...  I was unware there was a difference...
I know you can change the date in a JOB run... Is that the same as the
software clock?
