There is a difference between the "standard" *nix timestamp and what a
system is capable of at the kernel level. To be sure I'd look at the
timeval struct (or similar) in time.h. This struct contains the number
of seconds into the epoch and also (typically) a 32-bit word for
nanoseconds. You might not find it on a SCO machine but its been on BSD 
for ages.
