RE: GCC G77 Sleep Intrinsic

Sorry to re-post on top of my previous one, but I've had another thought (on a Friday as well !).
Given that the problem has shown on Win 98 SE, but seems okay on Win XP & 2K: Maybe the clock 'tick' used in the Win 9x API is different to that used in the Win NT API ? I don't have access to a Win 9x machine at the moment, but maybe someone would like to try something like a 'CALL Sleep(2000)' in G77 under Win9x and see if it waits for around 2 seconds ?

I did and it waits for around 2 seconds. I also tried (10000) and then it waits for around 10 seconds.
Seems to be milli-second intervals...
What will happen if i run this program (compiled on 98) on 2K? Will it waits for 2 seconds or for 2000 ! seconds?

This question seems to have stirred some distant memory in the darkest recesses of my brain, about Win 9x clock ticks being at milli-second intervals, but those recesses are far too dark to be able to remember clearly.

| | Works fine here on XP. Check the FAQ's to see if C sleep() or
| | the Sleep API
| | may not be supported on 98.
| |
| | I did check the FAQ, but without success...
| | I am not very adept at cygwin and g77... Can you help me?

| | Thank you very much!
