Supposedly nearly all RTL function in DOS are not problematic as they 
either do simple stuff (get the current time - even this supposedly is 
done without a "DOS" call), do unrelated stuff (disk I/O)  or in fact 
don't use the slow function provided by DOS or BIOS (keyboard, serial, 
....)

The timer might need some dedicated handling, though.

But my knowledge on all this is far in the past, in fact based on 
TurboPascal.
