Though at present it is not so, but as a programmer I would like to
use efficient function.

If usleep() is there, then it should work. I want to know, if I am
unable to use it or there is really some problem with function.

I believe we need to multiply (c2-c1) by 10000 to get in secs.

Thanks for your reply.

Still I wait for comments on "usleep()" or some better alternative.
In the mean time I will use your above technique.

With kind regards,
