What kind of system do you use? Clearly, NOT the one I described. nap() does not work under the SCO Xenix 286 v2.2.1 development system. It doesn't delay at all, or it hangs, depending on the version of the system that you're running. I REALLY WISH THAT _EVERYONE_ WOULD NOT ASSUME THAT AN INCOMPLETE ANSWER/QUESTION ON THE NET IS AN OUTRIGHT STATEMENT OF INCOMPETENCE! SOME OF US _DO_ TRY OTHER THINGS BEFORE POSTING TO THE WORLD!
