| Yes, but what is this for?  This is a toy program; I was interested to

Here is my problem.

C/C++ Perfometer at http://alexvn.freeservers.com/s1/perfometer.html
   has been compiled with gpp-2.95.3  and works OK on Windows98.
  One of get-time-function()'s is uclock().

I compiled this program with gpp-3.0.4 (with some gpp-3.0.4-related updates) on Windows2000.
However, it doesn't work on Windows2000 because of uclock().
