SUMMARY
The Win32 application programming interface (API) documentation indicates that Sleep is supported on Win32s. It is important to note, however, that the behavior of Sleep on Win32s is not the same as it is under Windows NT.

Under Win32s, Sleep calls Yield. The Windows version 3.1 Yield function yields only if the message queue is empty; therefore, Sleep cannot be relied on to do anything. Use a PeekMessage loop to do idle time processing.
