Could someone tell in what unit is the result of clock() function ??

ANSI C tell that there should be a CLK_TCK constant which says that, but I found
somewhere in djgpp .H a #define CLK_TCK 100, and when trying that it is obvious
that this is wrong.

In fact, it seems that there are about 1 million clock() units per seconds. But
what is the real value ?

This is an important point in order to preserve compatibility between djgpp programs
and TurboC programs. I think there SHOULD be a CLK_TCK constant with the right value
in the standard .H.
