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...

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

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#incldue <windows.h>
that cuts the crud a little ;)
