Oh sorry the original mail did not come to me it got junked I got the response and that was the one I was replying to. Now I can tell you how to get system time all the way to the assembler level but it helps in knowing what c++ environment your working in because it makes a difference for example they have data and time classes in Microsoft that is some times easier to use then to actually write the code yourself. So tell me what compiler your using and for what operating system and I will give you an example.

Thanks. The question still stands, though: how can I get the minutes of the system time? Apparently there is a time_t object, but I could not find much on that.
