Sometimes there's just too much time in the day so Shockwave
DELAY creator was developed to eat that time. It is a little
program that produces a physical delay on the PC. SDELAY can be
used in a batch file setting to add a delay between the execution
of programs. SDELAY at the command prompt or in a batch file
with the range settings properly inserted will not produce
any character echoes, so it's implementation can be kept
completely transparent to the user. SDELAY can theoretically
produce delays from as little as around 1 millisecond to delays
that encompasses an entire day, 86,400,000 milliseconds.
"A delay that lasts an entire DAY!!!", you may say. Well, yeah,
I can't imagine why anyone would need a delay that long, but I'm
sure someone will find a use for it. SDELAY can be used to
make a delay for an hour, 3,600,000 milliseconds, so you can make
your computer wait till you're long gone before it shocks the
unsuspecting bystander with the running of some other program in
a batch file. An example .BAT file of this is as follows:
@ECHO OFF
REM ... create the 1 hour delay ...
SDELAY 3600000
REM ... use Shockwave SOUND creator to produce a beep
REM of 1000 hertz for 2 seconds ...
SSOUND 1000 2000
:END
SDELAY is fairly easy to use, if you need help with syntax,
typing: SDELAY /? at the DOS prompt displays a full help screen.
The command line switch /SHOW is nice to use when you want to see
how far along the delay is at any moment during SDELAY's
execution. When using this switch make sure it follows the
milliseconds parameter on the command line. If you have any
questions or suggestions send E-mail to Richard Cheek on the
official ShockWave Software Beta test sites...
