I am developing some portable code in which I need to use microsecond
sleep. So, I used usleep(microsecond) system call. The problem is Decstation
does not support this call. They have 'napms(milisec)'. How can I get microsec.
sleep in my portable code? Is usleep() is POSIX call?

Thanks,
Rafique Mahmood
