Sleep command

[Reg Paling]

Hi Bas,

An extract from my code for pre-6.1:  (Er, I don't know who would have 
written that comment in the code!)

Calculate lvCheckFinishDateTime as 
dadd(kCentiSecond,pMillisecondsToWait/10,#D)
Repeat
    TCPPing ('invalidhost',256,100)      ;; This will provide some delay 
without using full CPU. If somebody has named their computer 
'invalidhost' then the ping will be successful. This is not a big 
problem, and if someone is stupid enough to name their computer 
'invalidhost' they deserve to have problems.
Until #D>lvCheckFinishDateTime

Cheers,
Reg
