Milliseconds Resolution

1) TTBOMK, you cannot do this natively inside filePro.  I have never seen a
time resolution more atomic than seconds in filePro.

2) Best solution I can think of would rely upon a Perl external using
the Time::HiRes module, and import the values with USER.

Even then, you can get the value, but if I'm correct about #1, then a)
you'd need a custom edit, and b) none of the standard time calculation
routines for time fields are likely to work with your values.  You'd most
likely have to write routines to do all the comparisons, etc.  Or store
into two fields and use indexes creatively.  Or both.

It's possible there's something added after 5.0 which lets you do it, but
I've never heard of it.  Of course, not having heard of it doesn't mean it
doesn't exist.
