Re: usleep not sleeping - maybe not tired?

Aaron,

Not an answer as such, but:

http://www.think400.dk/adhoc_1.htm

"Finally, the documentation says the "usleep() function is included for its
historical usage.
The setitimer() function is preferred over this function."

So, it appears that both the code and documentation contain errors and we
should look at
setitimer() instead."
