I am writing a small application that must only use standard C and C++
libaries as it must be recompilable on a variety of platforms.<<

       I think this is what you want....


should work with unix too.


Include <stdio.h>
Include <stdlib.h>
Include<time.h>
Include<sys\timeb.h>

char *tzstr="TZ=PST8PDT"; Pacific time with daylight savings.

int main(void)
 {
  struct timeb t;
 putenv(tzstr);
tzset();
 ftime(&t);
 printf("Thousands of a second is  %d\n",t.millitm);
return (0);
}
