Re: getCurrentTime() broken ?

[Rick Riolo]

I don't know (or have forgotten about) a message
getCurrentTime.  To what object is it sent?
Does it do what I (and Sven, I gather) want with respect
to pre-activity time?  

Anyway, I guess I still like a macro approach, so that
I don't have to worry about which object to send the message to,
making sure that object is accessible from various
other objects/files, etc.
Of course I could write my own macro, perhaps.
Still, it seems like such a basic, oft-used piece of info,
it would be nice to have simple access to it "built-in".
(I even wish I didn't have to include activity.h to get it.)

ps But I'll admit I've not even thought about what happens
   with complex models with schedules all over the place.
