sleep... ahhhh...

I use borland. For a while now I've been working on using the sleep functions... none of them work... can anyone give me a working sleep function (that doesn't use the processer ticks... or whatever ya might call it)?

i used this in bcc55, is it the same thing as sleep

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
#include <time.h>

int f_wait (int);

main()
{
        f_wait (4);
        cout<<"hello";//notes
        return(0);
}

int f_wait(int SecondsToWait)
{
        time_t TheTime = time(NULL);
        while(time(NULL) - TheTime < SecondsToWait);
        return 1;
}

---

where 'bouts ny are you from?

Look at the man page for 'setitimer'

If it's a newer version of borland, it should have Sleep().

#include <windows.h>
.
.
Sleep(1000); //Sleep 1 second
