I'm glad it worked out, Jim. I was just a bit put off by all the
arithmetic you had to go through, to effect a simple thread-sleep.
I still think I might suggest a microsecond-sleep routine be added to
srfi-18 (our srfi-18 already has extensions from the spec, one more
couldn't hurt!).
Best wishes,
Graham
