- /* Timer function - timedelay(seconds,microseconds)
-
- Your task is put to sleep for the specified time interval.
-
- If seconds > 0, then UNIT_VBLANK is used, delay is in multiples of
- 60ths of a second. If seconds < 0, then UNIT_MICROHZ is used for
- more precision.
-
- Returns value of 0 if no errors, nonzero (and no task sleeping)
-
- Notice that since this is a multi-tasking system, the delays
- shown here must be considered to be only approximate.
-
- Also note that this function is used primarily to show how
- a timer device is accessed, including the creation of the
- message port and a message structure (IOStdReq). Note that
- there is a Delay(interval) function already in the DOS.library.
- (See the DOS developer's manual for details).
-
- But this Delay() function leaves LOT to be desired, <CB>.
