Hi, the subject tells what I'm searching for:
How can i wait a definit amount of time in a platform independant way? I need to pause a while loop for 1 second. The program should run at least on FreeBSD and Windows. <snip> while NOT doStop do begin { wait a little } doSomethingUseful; end; </snip> At the moment I'm thinking of using something like "Application.ProcessMessages" and measuring the time explicitely, but a simple "Wait(1000)" would be best. :) TIA, Marc _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
