[PD] usleep() equivalent to Sleep() ?

[Yves Degoyon]

hi,

Olaf's help is very useful here
because "sleep" on UNIX takes
a number of seconds as argument
( thus, different from Windows' sleep ).

If you ported the code "as is",
there should be a delay of 100 seconds
before drawing anything,
i guess that's not what you expect.

So, divide THREAD_SLEEP_TIME by 1000.

Next, i don't really know what you mean by
"buffer overrun", maybe because i never
used PD on Windows ???

cheers,

yves
