Hi,
I'm trying to port a library from Linux to DOS
and ran into the problem of implementing
a watchdog timer. I first thought of
alarm(), but it has only a resolution 
of one second. I think DJGPP hooks the timer
interrupt  and reprograms the timer. Is there
an easy way to benefit from that?

Or has anybody implemented something like that?

TIA

Ciao
Tom
