Subj : Short interval timing

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.

In it, I am trying to time short intervals (less than a few seconds)
reasonably accurately.  Now, the time functions in <time.h> which, I
believe, have their origins in Unix seem only to have the granularity of
whole seconds.  Is there a way I can determine the time between two events
more accurately than this, whilst only using standard C and C++ libraries ?

John
