sleep() in MSC 5.1 ???

I, who normally writes UNIX programs, was writing a small MS-DOS program
yesterday. When I tried to compile it with MSC 5.1 there was an unresolved
external viz.: _sleep().

Looking in the manual I utterly failed to find any sleep(), wait(),
delay() or whatever this function may be called.

Is it possible that sleep() has not been implemented in the standard
libraries?

I could of course write one myself, but I would like to know whether
anyone has observed this before.


Another short question: How do you empty the keyboard buffer without
having to read all the keystrokes? I have tried fflush(stdin), but this
does not work.

Thank you in advance
