- There is an article on high resolution timing in one of the recent DDJ's
- thet could be extended to M2.

-
- TPU's are not linkable, they don't use OMF format. .OBJ files should be
- readilly linkable providing that the guidelines in the TopSpeed Environment
- "Developers Guide" are followed. Actually the main problem is not the
- linking so much as the calling conventions (in most cases). Linking to
- MS C .OBJs needs somehing like:
-
- (*# module(implementation=>off, init_code=>off) *)
-
- (*# call(c_conv=>on, reg_param=>()), name(prefix=>c) *)
-
- as a minimum.
