Yeah - I've had a look at this and came to a similar conclusion... but from the other end, just to be different :) -- unfortunately MS' Sleep() doesn't give you to-the-microsecond control, but i figure * 1000 to get milliseconds is close enough (if the coder needs better control maybe that will come with parrot's threading support? ie, something like java's wait() method?) Anyways, the idea is to leave Parrot_sleep() as is, and introduce Parrot_usleep() to all other platforms, fudging it a bit on Win32. > I don't have time now to patch Steve's patch, if nobody else > can do it, I'll do it next week. I've actually got my hands on MSVC++ and will work on it later on today. I'll post the patch once I'm done. Also, ta for the replies, guys... this kind of atmosphere makes working on Parrot appealing to newbies like me :) +-- Steve Purkis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
