Hello,
I came across the call NAPMS, but I have no idea what it does, and
it isn't in my Man pages. Could someone please enlighten me?
Thank you,

Could someone please enlighten me? Obviously it must be a "nap for yay many milliseconds" function. Why worry about it if it doesn't exist?

It wasn't in our man pages either, but we found it in the curses library. We have to versions also, one is nap for milliseconds and the other is nap for microseconds. -- Mike Caldwell (mike@pmafire) Paths: ...uunet!pmafire!mike | ...!ucdavis!egg-id!pmafire!mike

Cheap shots aren't like you... if he's trying to convert a program to run on his system and it uses a call he doesn't have, it's *much* easier to convert if you know what the call does. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
