I am working on a project (in lightspeed C on a MAC II), and I require a statement similar to the turbo-pascal DELAY(X); procedure call, where X is the number of milliseconds that the program waits. So far I have not been able to find such a function. I have been implementing millisecond-delays with for structures, which compute some dummy result over and over; the problem with this is that I can not control the amount of time that the computer spneds on this function exactly. The function sleep would be fine; however, I need milliseconds and not seconds. Any suggestions? By the way, the program interfaces with a synchro-to digital converter interface, which computes an angle value and is very slow (at 16bits resolution...). Please send replys to bcs87559@zach.fit.edu before May 30; this is only a temporary account.
