I need to be able to generate delays of around 1/2 second.  Anyone
have a good way of doing this?  I'm using MS C 6.0.  The best I can
come up with is a 1 second delay.

Also, how does MS C compare with Borland C++ and Zortech C++?  Borland
and Zortech seem to be more aggressive at updating their compilers.
Is ObjectVision good?  It sounds like it might give Borland a definite
edge over Zortech.  I know this is a FAQ, but things seemed to have
changed a lot recently in the PC C world.  At least as far as the
other guys are concerned.  MS did release a bug fix, so everyone can
safetly use 6.0 now :-).
