Subject: SNL delay() function gives wrong delay

We have been running our IOC at 200Hz 
and the sequence program delays were all 
shortened. (I'm running SNL V1.9.2).

It appears that the SNL built-in function delay() is
rather crude and assumes that the CPU clock rate 
is 60Hz - it calculates the number of ticks to wait by simply 
multiplying seconds by 60, instead of sysClkRateGet().
