Question

I am trying to add a timed delay in a C++ program, and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what I can try or information I can look at?

I wish I had more details on how I am implementing this timed delay, but until I have more information on how to add a timed delay I am not sure on how I should even attempt to implement this.

In Win32:

#include<windows.h> Sleep(milliseconds); 

In Unix:

#include<unistd.h> unsigned int microsecond = 1000000; usleep(3 * microsecond);//sleeps for 3 second 

sleep() only takes a number of seconds which is often too long.
