Just a short question: If I'm not mistaken, there is no way in the "base" package to sleep for a given amount of time in portable a way. Of course there is System.Posix.Unistd.sleep and System.Posix.Unistd.usleep in the "unix" package, but shouldn't we have a similar feature in the "base" libraries? Or have I overlooked something obvious?
System.system("sleep 4") should be mostly portable. not sure if there is an equivalant thing to run on windows... -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Meacham - California Institute of Technology, Alum. - john@foo.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
