Maybe since your compiler is old its using an old windows.h (pre Win95)?
The requirments for Sleep() are:
Requires Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows NT Workstation, Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95
Sure its not a 16bit compiler?

it should be 32bit.. i will investigate though. thanks for suggestion

Open up winbase.h
Is Sleep() in there?
it's in there!
about compiler:Code:WINBASEAPI VOID WINAPI Sleep( DWORD dwMilliseconds );
i do not know how to find out which compiler is used (i compile in IDE window by pressing a button) but it should be 32bit compiler. i think so coz both 16bit and 32bit compilers are available and perhaps it decides automatically which one to use.

one way to find out, sizeof(int)...
Generally, (presuming you have a "normal" computer)Code:#include <stdio.h> int main(void) { printf("%d\n", sizeof(int)); return 0; }
2 = 16 bit
4 = 32 bit

2... poor me
maybe any1 using Borland C++ 4.51 knows how to set 32 compiler up?
Well.. Borland C++ 4.51, which i use has a 32 bit compiler. i just need to set it up so i will read manuals again and meantime if any1 having experience with this would drop a line would be gr8! thanks for helping me
Why are you so keen on Borland C++ 4.51?, Borland C++ 4.00 was released in 1993 (thats well over 10 years ago). If you plan on doing windows programming at least update the includes & libs.
well, it's money problem.... i hope to make 32bit compiler working!

Money as in bandwidth? Cause those compilers are free :\
i'll try
It's a C compiler anywho, You probably want C++ and C... Ie DevC++
I'm pretty sure the Borland compilers have sleep(). At least in the later versions, IIRC it's prototyped in stdlib.h.
