Hi,

Usualy i was using sleep(x) where x is the number of milisec but i dunno if its win2000 or my compiler(borland) but it looks like sleep(x) now use x as the number of secondes..

i need to do a delay less than 1 seconde..

what to use....?

What if you type Sleep(x) with an uppercase S ?

//Error.....
Sleep(x); //with capital S, dont exist (well not in dos.h)

whats is the name of the header file?
 
>> whats is the name of the header file?

Winbase.h

It's a Windows API not a Borland API.

Sleep is declared in winbase.h.
Simply #include <windows.h>

hey try usleep(x) where x is in microseconds.

for example usleep(500000) will sleep for 0.5 seconds...

i don't know if this will work.
it's just an idea.
 
Ok nice, it's working! (Sleep in windows.h)
