 The DOS clock keeps time just fine.  Chris' problem was that he was running in 
a DOS window on top of Windows 2000.  Windows NT/2K/XP are pre-emptive 
multi-tasking operating systems.  They will steal time away from other 
applications are regular intervals.  CT expects exclusive access to the CPU and 
hardware.

You must run CT in pure DOS, or be able to shut down Windows 95/98 to a DOS 
prompt.  Or use the CTWIN version on the web site.
