Wait version 1.0 Author: Richard A. Ellingson mailto:relling@maxinet.com http://tvland.maxinet.com/relling Freeware, distribute without charge. Requirements: Windows 95 INSTALLATION: Wait.exe will run from any directory. USAGE: Wait calls the Windows API function, Sleep( x * 1000 ), where x represents the number of seconds to Wait. Use if in a Win95 batch file, while Windows is running only, so that a delay can occur without tieing up the CPU. EXAMPLE: Start /W Wait 10 The Windows 95 command, Start /W, holds batch file operation until Wait returns. The operation in the example will hold the batch file for about 14 seconds. That's because Wait takes about 4 seconds to load and run even without an argument. The four second minimum may vary on form one PC to another. What's it for: Well, you can launch Windows programs from a batch file, but if you need to hold off the batch file execution for some reason, the standard method of using the Choice /T command interferes with Windows multitasking because it uses almost all of the CPU clock cycles. Wait.exe uses almost no CPU clock cycles.
