Short: Make millisecond delays. Author: toleb@mail.link.no (Tom Ole Børvik) Uploader: toleb mail link no (Tom Ole Børvik) Type: util/misc Version: 1.1 Replaces: util/misc/Delay.lha Requires: KS/WB 2+ Architecture: m68k-amigaos Distribution: Anywhere. This little program gives you time control in Shell, down to a millisecond. AmigaOS includes the program WAIT, which gives you delays in whole seconds, in minutes or to a given time. But I wanted more! I wanted to make delays between 0 and 1 second, too! And in between seconds. Say, for instance, you have two programs which has to be started at exact 3.5 seconds after each other. This is not possible with the WAIT command, but with this one you can give the exact time milliseconds accuracy, e.g. 3.5 seconds equals 3500. But: I do not guarantee that the timing is 100% accurate, but it should be near to it. Anyone who care to time this program, is welcome to mail me any results. Usage: Delay MILLISECONDS/N Example: 1.SYS:> Delay 3500 1.SYS:> Errors in parameters are reported. To view usage, type "Delay", "Delay ?" or "Delay /?" in your Shell window. To install Delay, just copy it wherever you want in your path. Suggested location is C: The program is written in Pascal, which is why it has the size it does. Pascal on the Amiga is not in any way comparable to C regarding the size of the executable, but it works... Would really like to se Borland Pascal under AmigaOS...
