I need to be able to determine the amount of CPU time a slave process 
gets from as soon as it is spawned to when it finishes.  Has anybody got 
any ideas on how I can do this?

I have tried making C++ system calls to get the time but I am unable to 
return the time as PVM does not have any functions for returning types of 
type time.  A cast to a float doesn't work either.   

Thanks

Pete
