All of my routines have been compiled with VB5 Service Pack 3.
There are several locations on the web to obtain these
modules if you have not installed VB5 Service Pack 3.  I did
not use any customized controls other that those that are
distributed with VB5.

-------------------------------------
StopW uses multiple VB code snippet examples.

The main purpose of the program is to demonstrate how to
calculate elapsed time using a simple API call.

Some of the examples of code snippets within this program:

1.  Spinning an Icon by just changing it's picture.
2.  What I consider the proper way to end a program.
3.  Using the GetTickCount() API call.
4.  Using Label, Frame, Command, and option controls.
5.  Determining if a previous instance of this program is
    already running.
6.  Line continuation, in case you don't know how.
