Depending on your machine that may be the best you can do.  For
example the Hitachi 2020 (sold in Japan only) only generates (at least 
4 years ago when I was looking at the problem) a clock tick once per second.
For more convential machines you can use msleep(500) (millisecond sleep) 
if you were using the Zortech compiler.

If MSC doesn't have this function or handle C++ code then it's deficient
in at least two areas.  Other comments from me about MSC would be too biased 
to be worth your time reading.
