What I'm wondering is, if DJGPP's libc contains a delay() function which does handle short delays well (and even seems to use microseconds internally AFAICS), why doesn't its usleep() function do the same thing?
If both functions used the same service, you couldn't have chosen one or the other, depending on your needs. Having both is better than only one.
Why is it a problem that they use different methods? The docs clearly says what service is used, so the information is available, isn't it?
