Hi,

Not done much cross-platform programming myself, but I beleive if you use the following tags your program should work;

 
#ifdef DOSMODE
#include <io.h>
#endif
 
#ifdef UNIXMODE
#include <unistd.h>
#endif

Your advide told me what to loook for, google did the rest...

#ifdef _WIN32                      //includes dos.h only when
#include <dos.h>                   //using the borland c++
#endif                             //compiler [used for sleep()]
 
#ifdef __unix__
#include <time.h>                  //used for sleep() on *NIX-based systems
#endif

then I just used sleep(NUMBER_OF_SECS);

sleep(1);
