Hi,
I am doing a project and i would like to know if anyone can please tell me how to write a delay or wait function in c++ which works asynchronously with other programs.


Thank you,

What operating system are you working in? Most OS's have a system call called sleep. In Windows, it is (#include <windows.h>):

void Sleep(int ms)

which sleeps for ms milliseconds. In Unix, the C standard runtime library (#include <unistd.h>) has:

unsigned int sleep (unsigned int seconds)

we are using XP. It gives an error on "unistd.h", a fatal error

Do you have the C runtime libraries? What compiler are you using? You can't get a fatal error just from including a standard library (unless you perhaps don't have the GNU libraries in the first place).
