- I have a piece of code that has successfully compiled on a large variety
- of Unix workstations that makes use of "SLEEP()" and "FDATE()" calls.
- This is Fortran code.
-
- On the hp's, I have problems:
-
- 1) FDATE doesn't appear to exist. Does anyone know of a suitable
- replacement?
-
- 2) SLEEP() compiles OK, but then it seems to just hang. According to the
- man page (and by analogy to all the other Unix systems I've ported to),
- SLEEP(ITIME) should suspend the process for ITIME seconds. On the
- hp, the process just hangs, seemingly indefinitely.
-
- Any advice?
-
- Thanks...
