Gary Abbott asks about profiling MSC programs.

There are quite a few commercial profilers available.  I did a survey
of them about 2 years ago and the best of the lot was pFinish from
Pheonix software.

All of the profilers get their symbolic information from the linker's
MAP file.  Some of them can also use the Pheonix PLINK format symbolic
information which is appended to the .EXE file.

I've also seen some public domain profilers but they're pretty rudimentary.
Some of the tech-rags (DDJ, PJ, PC-Tech, etc.) have source code for
programming the PC's clock chip to provide high    ^published
resolution timing.
