TICKTEST 1.01 (Tick Tester)
Usage: TICKTEST
Many programs depend on your PC's tick counter to time the length of
short functions, such as beeping the speaker. Some older BIOSes and
some older memory resident programs prevented the count in lower DOS
memory from being updated at each tick (18.2 times per second). This
would cause programs to hang when they waited for some number of ticks
to pass.
This program displays the tick counter so you can be sure that your
PC is updating the count.
Press ESCAPE to terminate the TICKTEST program.
