Hi Everyone,

hope you can help me with my question...

I'd like to have several instances of my program running at the same time, working apart from one another.

The problem is, every instance takes 99.8 % CPU time, so only the first instance is running, then the second, and so on.
In Java I would define the program as thread and let the thread sleep at certain points in execution, so that the other instances can take their time.

any ideas how I could handle this behavior with fpc?

many thanx in advance,

Jens

You should at least mention which platform you try this on... :-))

Bye,

sleep(n) (n is in msec) in win32, special delay functions (I can send you code) under dos under win9x, dunno about linux, unix, m68k...BTW it's always a good idea to say which o/s you are running on - remember fpc runs on all sorts of platforms & o/ss... J
