#70102 - another microsoft bug: delay (50)
Responding to: ???'s previous message
To all forum members,
I have found another bug in Windows 98, which is taken care of in WindowsXP.
The problem is with the function call to the kernel i.e. delay(50).
In VB6.0, just make a loop run 100 times with the delay(50) statement and "debug.print" to show the current time.
And you will be see that after about 4~5 delay loops it fails and gives a delay much less than 50msecs.
You run the same program in WindowsXP, and you will find that every loop gives exactly 50msecs.

This is just for your information.
One of my customers(brother of my customer, based in USA) was not ready to agree and told me that if I made such a statement (in USA), I would be shown the door. Good that I work in Mumbai,India.
Well, as it is, I DO HAVE good feelings for the USA and its residents, please do not misundertand me.

Bye,
with best regards from,

Mr. Kiran V. Sutar.
