That is indeed true, and the work I did was about 8 years ago. I can't say
that things aren't different post WinNt, so if you use these timer you
should try them out to see if they are OK for your use.

The work I did was for HP to create a frequency generator as part of an
lightwave polarization meter, their first PC based instrument (developed in
1993 on Win 3.1).

As part of the project I used several WinNt 3.51 P1 233MHz computers to port
the code and the 100 usec jitter was pretty typical.
