If all you need is system time, why do you go through all of the
DPMI/int calls/&c, instead of just using extended Pascal's timestamp
routines.  Or are these not available because you are turning
non-Borland features off when compiling these Borland-ish Units?  Using
gettimestamp() should work on all gpc platforms, right?  I guess I must
misunderstand what exactly you need for a 'system time.'
