Re: pausing a command

I'm really sorry about bringing this up again but the Sleep(); function isnt working for me. i included ctime. could someone give me an example of code for this that works? (I'm using the dev-cpp bloodshed compiler)

thanx...

Re: pausing a command

Sleep is a kernel32.dll function. All exports of kernel32.dll are typically associated with windows.h.
