Is there a way to sleep for a millisecond?

Call the Sleep API . . .

Sleep(1); - Jeff Marler B-)

azizc, Jeff

Be advised that in some versions of Windows, the minimum timer delay you can specify is 17 milliseconds, and even then if you catch it just after the start of a loop, your sleep() could end up taking 33 milliseconds.

Thanks Chip! I did not know that. It would be nice if my API book would've mentioned that. - Jeff Marler B-)

It's a hardware limitation.
