Delay Timing in QB 4.5

Sorry for not cross-posting this with comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer.  I
just found out about the existence of alt.lang.basic...

I'm looking to do some pretty precise timing in a QB 4.5 program.
Nothing very fancy.

I have the Probas 5.0 libraries installed.  However, the routine called
DELAYV(microsecs) doesn't seem to work at all on an IBM PS/2 model 50.

So, I started looking, and found TIMING2.ZIP available via anonymous
ftp from wuarchive.wustl.edu in the mirrors/msdos/qbasic directory.
However, it seems that this was created under QB 3.0.  My attempts to
get it to work failed.

Does anybody know if TIMING2 has been updated for QB 4.5?
Or how to do delay routines (milliseconds would be perfect) easily?

Help!


Much thanks!


Andrew
