Hi,
the subject tells what I'm searching for:
How can i wait a definit amount of time in a platform independant way?
I need to pause a while loop for 1 second. The program should run at
least on FreeBSD and Windows.

while NOT doStop do begin
{ wait a little }
doSomethingUseful;
end;

At the moment I'm thinking of using something like
"Application.ProcessMessages" and measuring the time explicitely, but a
simple "Wait(1000)" would be best. :)
What about sleep:
