NAME

	AddTimerInt -- adds an interrupt that is executed at regular
intervals. (V40)

SYNOPSIS

	intHandle = AddTimerInt(intRoutine, intData);
D0 A0 A1
APTR AddTimerInt(APTR, APTR);

FUNCTION

	Calling this routine causes the system to allocate a CIA timer
and set up 'intRoutine' to service any interrupts caused by the timer.
Although the timer is allocated it is neither running, nor enabled.
StartIntTimer() must be called to establish the time interval and
start the timer.
The routine is called from within an interrupt, so normal
restrictions apply. The routine must preserve the following
registers: A2, A3, A4, A7, D2-D7. Other registers are
scratch, except for D0, which MUST BE SET TO 0 upon
exit. On entry to the routine, A1 holds 'intData' and A5
holds 'intRoutine'.
Only a single CIA timer will be allocated by this routine. So this
routine may only be called once without an intervening call to
RemTimerInt().
The CIA timer used by this routine is not guaranteed to always be
the same. This routine utilizes the CIA resource and uses an
unallocated CIA timer.
If your program is to exit without reboot, you MUST match all
calls to this function with calls to RemTimerInt() before exiting.
Even if you only use the function once in your program; checking
the return value will make your program more tolerant for
mulititasking on the Amiga computer platforms.

INPUTS

	intRoutine - the routine to invoke upon timer interrupts. This routine
should be as short as possible to minimize its effect on
overall system performance.
intData - data passed to the routine in register A1. If more than one
long word of data is required this should be a pointer to
a structure that contains the required data.

RESULT

	intHandle - a handle used to manipulate the interrupt, or NULL
if it was not possible to attach the routine.
