For what it's worth, so does Janus/Ada. But ObjectAda and Rational Apex Ada
uses the standard clock tick for Calendar.Clock. Which is 10 milliseconds on
Windows NT; but if you run the same program (even the same executable) on
Windows 95/98, it is about 55 milliseconds.
All of which makes the original point: this depends completely on the target
system *and* implementation. The (original) question cannot be meaningfully
answered without knowing both the target system and implementation.
