Go to sleep ...

use Sleep function, if you are working under Windows. There is something similar in unix too, but I can't remember the function name... Could be the same, or delay() or something like that. [red]Nosferatu[/red]

You have a while loop, ending only if flag != 1.
Is flag set to semething else in the code after the wait function? In that case you must use Sleep ( ) to wait, like Nosferatu suggested.
But, if flag is set to semething else by a different thread, it might be better to use some of the synchronisation API calls, like a critical section or a mutex.

If you are writing a single-threaded program, use Sleep fn to wait a specified number of milliseconds.

If you are writing a multi-threaded program do not use Sleep as it could cause all threads to sleep, rather, use the WinNT timeSetEvent() fn.
