I am currently maintaining a piece of software running on V2.4 of OS9/68000.
This software was compiled using Ultra C V1.1.1.  In this software is a call to
_OS9_GETIME in which the tick count is returned.  The documentation indicates
that the lower 16 bits contains the current tick.  The original author assumed
that the tick would count all the way to 65535 and then roll over.  However, I
am seeing the software roll over after the value 100. (There are 100 ticks in a
second.)  The documentation is woefully lacking in describing the values of the
tick.  Is this roll over at the number of ticks per second the way these
functions always work?

Thanks for your help!
