How do we wait or sleep for a specific amount of time in a thread?
say 527 milliseconds?

we use to have a static sleep on the std.thread didn't we?

Afaics, msleep from std.c.time will do the trick

Thank you that's it. my system (linux ubuntu 6.10) didn't find msleep but is good for usleep. Sean, probably I remember sleep from std.c.time and looking for it on thread (should have grep phobos source tree...) thanks, Ant

It's never been there, as far as I know. Sean
