Sleep

by

Paul Martin


SLEEP.EXE is quite simply a program that will wait a specified
interval before exiting. This will give you a way to force
the system to wait without dogging the CPU.

Sleep is invoked in the following manner:

SLEEP
where is the number of milliseconds to wait.

Examples:

SLEEP 10000 Will cause sleep to wait 10 seconds

SLEEP 600000 Will cause sleep to wait 10 minutes

etc...


SLEEP.EXE was written in "C" and is a bound executable. This means it
will run under OS/2 and DOS.

Feel free to distribute this program and make as many copies as
your heart desires, but you must not alter the program in any way
and you must distribute this documentaion file unaltered.

If you find this utility useful, all I ask is that you send me
$2.00 for my effort.

Send checks, money orders, loose diamonds, and of course cash to:

    This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

    But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
