I think the source code to either my Secure86 or my Property86 is released
(on ticalc.org), or Jonah's On86 might be a good plan. I'm not sure how YAS
does it, but I do know how Sysmon does it!!! =)

It determines battery free in the following way. It sets up an interrupt.

a) at a specified time, sets a counter to 0 in the interrupt
b) now in the main program, the counter is incremented indefinitely until...
c) the next interrupt, when the counter is converted to battery level.

this is because interrupts occur less often as battery life dwindles.
