[oopic] Providing a clock/time to the PIC

Hi guys, i got a question. As i am dealing with solar tracking
device, i would like to be able to feedback the time to the PIC. i
look through the object list and found several options that i could
use. Thought i just ask if there is any shorter way of doing it.

What i need:
Implementing a "clock" by using counters, using the execution cycle
and frequency of the PIC (in this case ooPIC is 20MHz). I would

counter_sec++;
if counter_sec == 60
{
counter_min++;
counter_sec = 0; 'resetting it back to 0
}
if counter_min == 60
{
counter_hrs++;
counter_min = 0; 'resetting it back to 0
}

if counter_hrs == 24
{
day++;
counter_hrs =0; 'resetting it back to 0
}

Loop

My question is will this code work?
how do i make this function keep on running outside the main function
Is this a good way of "telling" the time? Cos my device is a
standalone kind so no PC/Laptops will be connected once its configured

In the object list, there are oTimer, oCounter, oClock, are these
suited for the purpose? I looked thru the example, but i dun quite
get it. >.<

Anyone got any hints to how i might make this thing work?

Thanks once again
