Just read the system clock...
I shall include the source code for a module of mine....
You may use it if you like.
However, be warned, I use a K&R standard C compiler,
you may have to change the syntax slightly to get it to compile.
Here are the docs:
(ulong) system_time( ulong );
seconds = system_time( NULL ); /* read system time */
seconds = system_time( seconds ); /* set system time to 'seconds'
*/
