[Bleek]

linux: sleep() or usleep() #include
windows: Sleep() #include

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...

ctime.h possibly?

that msdn crud says 'windows.h', but i was sure u didnt need to include all that garbage just for sleep...

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

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#incldue

that cuts the crud a little ;)
