[racket] querying the machine's system time...

but is there a conversion function to the system time similar to 
seconds->date for milliseconds (didn't find one in the docs)? Once more, 
what I need to do is examine the timing relationship between different 
applications one of which is Racket and the other isn't (but uses the system 
clock on a fine granularity). Thus I need absolute timing in my Racket 
app...

Thanks!

Use `current-inexact-millseconds' (and divide by 1000) instead of
`current-seconds'.
