this can't be done in standard C you need to call a platform
specific delay function. Try delay() or sleep().

Please use standard English it makes you posts easier to read.

Look up time(), mktime(), and difftime(). It's not difficult, although
of course it will be a busy wait. If you want lazy wait, ask in an
MS-DOS newsgroup such as comp.os.msdos.programmer
