I did notice that difference when I tried my own method of trying to calculate CLOCKS_PER_SEC for each second, that there was 5 second or off results differences in each time I ran the program. I didn't know if I was making a mistake or my assignment of calculating the difference was off. The results varied. 

Does clock() in DJGPP wrap around after a certain amount of seconds elapsed as stated by that website that I quoted above?
