Int E0 - Dr Multiuser DOS - "p_delay" - Delay Execution [O]
CL = BDh
DX = delay in system ticks
Return: after the delay elapses
Notes: the length of a system tick is installation-dependent (typically
1/50 or 1/60 second); the length may be determined by reading the
TICKSPERSEC value from the system data segment
the actual delay before the process is rescheduled to run may be up to
one tick longer than requested; the delay between rescheduling and
actual execution cannot be predicted if higher-priority processes
are awaiting a turn at the CPU
