Hi, Kay.

Thank you for your reply.  I looked at the libCom epicsGeneralTime
section of the EPICS Application Developer's Guide, but not at the
source code.  From reading the guide, it didn't seem like it provided
what I want.  I don't want to implement my own time provider, I want
libCom to provide me with an easy way to get system monotonic time for
all the supported EPICS platforms.  (If it in turn gets system monotonic
time from a particular time provider, that would of course be fine with
me. :-))

Regards,

Lewis
