Not in ANSI-C AFAIK. But in Posix.1 you have sleep(), and in
Posix.1b you have nanosleep().

is there a standard function for pausing a program for a set number of
seconds or milliseconds.   I have not been able to find much on this subject
in any of the books I own.  I'm learning as I go and would appreciate
anything I might receive on the subject.  A simple yes or no will help me
out (if yes I'll keep looking if no I'll try to write one myself)

please e-mail any answer to kawolf@myriad.net

THANK YOU AGAIN
