Not necessarily to call just any DLL... that would probably be difficult as well as raise the size of the executable significantly. I was thinking though that instead of the KIX32.EXE or WKIX32.EXE file intrinsically containing the code to perform sleep or wait states, Ruud could easily (and without increasing size too much, I would think) call the KERNEL32.DLL,SLEEP function that is built in already and available on all systems.

Seems Ruud made a choice about this, thinking that it won't be necessary to have a sleep lower than 1 sec, but only time can say if it's good or not.

code:

---

;somewhere in the beginning :


if @kix >= '4.10' $ms = 1 endif

;in yer loop


...
if $ms  sleep 0.001 endif
...

---

p.s. : I didn't find any way yet to execute() the new and improved sleep command
(bad news for enthusiastic KiX-games writers)
