Hi!

What do you want to do with this hundreth second? What exactly do you
want to get? Set the time, read the time or wait a hundreth second?
Interestingly, cycle has time as real:

myConcurrentProcess:@|System
(#
	do
	cycle
	(#
		do
		(**put something in here *)
		0.01->sleep; (** sleep declared as real **)
	#);
#);

Regards,
