Re: Process Delay

Never ending programs are quite frecuent, just think on Apache, Sendmail, DB2, etc. There are not something very new, I remember writing NEPs in the S/34.
Now, doing a loop just to wait is only acceptable in a single user, single process computer, like the DOS PC.

Wasn't that the first lesson on the first day of school "Never create a
never ending loop"?  <g>
