[Coco] Clock "Timing".

[John Lochey]

Hi all,
I'm making a binary clock for the CoCo2 via emulation (XRoar at the moment).

As far as I know (from reading "Getting Started...Color Basic"), the way to time an actual second of time on a Color Computer 2 is to use a For...Next loop that corresponds as closely to an "actual" second as possible.
Is there a better way using just the Extended BASIC command set?
Also, provided that the emulator has the same settings as the original CoCo2, will the same timing loop work via emulation and hardware?

Or am I a dreamer!  ;)
