- This program allows one to easily compute the elapsed time needed
- to execute any command or series of commands.
-
- The calling sequence is:
- ELAPSED name <INIT>
- where "name" is a string used to uniquely identify this process.
- where "INIT" is an optional argument and is used to initially set the
- reference time.
-
- For example, consider the following script file:
- ELAPSED TEST1 INIT
- DIR DF0:
- ELAPSED TEST1
- CD DF1:
- INFO
- DIR
- ELAPSED TEST1
- In this example the first call to ELAPSED will define the starting
- time. The second call will display the elapsed time between the
- second call and the first call. The third call will display the
- elapsed time between the third call and the first call.
-
- The name "TEST1" is used a as suffix for an environmental variable
- which is created to store the reference time in. In this case the
- environmental variable used has the name "ELAPSED.TEST1". The
- environmental variable contians the three integer array returned
- from the AmigaDOS DateStamp function.
