What are the limitations of the "with Timer;" in Ada 95? Basically, is there anything that I should be watching to catch in a program?

Do you have example code that demonstrates any important limitations?

Do I have alternative timers to choose from? Which is the best timer to use? I want to simply do something in the Ada code when the timer counts down to 0.

I know that there are limitations on timers in general because of the system clock and load of the computer. Is there anything else that I should know and prepare my  Ada code for? Do you have example code?

Thank you,
