"sex" obtains the system time in seconds in a manner which is suitable
for scripts and can be used for timing purposes.

"sxtst" is an example showing how "sex" can be used in a script.

The example shows how to use "sex" for timimg purposes in tasks expected
to run less than 24 hours and allows for one day change at midnight.

If you decide to use "sex" you do so at your own risk.

Compiles for "OS4" and "MOS" can be made upon request.


NB:  "sxtst13" requires the program "execen" to be pathed. 
     To test the midnight condition, at the top of the script place
     something along the lines of the following:-
     date yesterday 23:59:58
     To restore to your default time type the following:-
     setclock load
