Sleep Fox

Put VFP in a minimum resource wait state, but still pay attention to the internal event loop:


PROCEDURE DoSleep
LPARAMETERS tnSeconds
LOCAL lnSeconds
DECLARE Sleep IN WIN32API integer

lnSeconds = SECONDS()
DO WHILE SECONDS() - m.lnSeconds <> m.tnSeconds
    SLEEP(m.tnSeconds*100)
    DOEVENTS
ENDDO
CLEAR DLL SLEEP


Thanks to late night buddy
Garrett who has a recent post on using SourceGear Vault with VFP Project Manager. The single user version is free (as in beer).

Sorry, this comment is not in relation to the entry. But as Ifound no email address, this seemed to be the only opportunity. I just ran across your post http://detah.blogspot.com/2004/01/tpc-h-after-few-days-of-research-i.html
as I'm trying to set up tpc-h on a windows machine without success. You wrote that you managed it somehow. Your help would be greatly appreciated! Compilation always gives me the error: conflicting types for getopt. In the makefile I changed DATABASE=DB2, MACHINE=DOS, WORKLOAD=TPCH, OBJ=.c, EXE =.exe, LIBS=[blank]. I got no clue, google brings up nothing...
Here is my email, in case you want to reply: LPFSXXTSSSKZ@spammotel.com
