I have the calc count as fast as it can, and check for keypresses. when
a key is pressed, it gets the current counter value, and multiplies it by
a number stored in the variable tC (timer Correction), and displays the
result. Whenever you think it might be off, you run the timer for a
certain amount of time (say 30 secs.) and then you run a calibration
program. You type in the actual time it ran, and the formula T/(clock
ticks) tells you the proper value of tC.
If anyone wants it, I'll post the TI-BASIC version, but, like I said, I'm
working on a ZShell version that'll be MUCH better.
