Do you have this statement available in your
Borland C environment (this was in BC++ Ver 4.52):

   delay (200);   // Delay 200 milliseconds

It's included in dos.h and my recollection (earlier
this year is that it fairly accurate (it seemed to
bounce around a little bit around the nominal value
in the that call).
