Pauses
I am using Microsoft Visual C++ and I was wondering if it is possible to make the program pause for a certain amount of seconds and then start up again. I want the user of my program to be able to read a sentence and then for the program to continue running after they have enough time to read it, which would be from 5-7 seconds.
Is this possible or do I have to live with what I have of having everything on the screen at once?

Also, there is the win32 API function Sleep(milliseconds) in <windows.h> ...
Like I said, I'm not sure what you are working on, both are, imo, cheap 'n dirty. But to just pause things temporarily (for debuggin, say) you can't beat them.
