- Short: Make millisecond delays.
- Author: toleb@mail.link.no (Tom Ole Børvik)
- Uploader: toleb@mail.link.no (Tom Ole Børvik)
- Version: 1.1
- Type: util/misc
- Requires: KS/WB 2+
- Replaces: util/misc/Delay.lha
- 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
- <here comes a 3.5 seconds delay>
- 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...
