[DUG]Timers

[Matthew Comb]

Jeremy, I think you might have missed some of the original thread.

I was referring to Carlos ThreadedTimer.

Critical code as follows.

    if WaitForSingleObject(FStop, FInterval) = WAIT_TIMEOUT then
      Synchronize(FOwner.DoTimer);

the waitfor FInterval will stop for what is perceived the resolution, but
the dotimer time will be added to that.

Regards,

Matt.
