That's not true: I find `delay' on some Unix boxes.
It is unfortunate that djgpp implemented the less accurate delay function with the more standard usleep() function.
`delay' is a compatibility function in DJGPP, and the reference for that compatibility is Borland. AFAIK, Borland's library uses Int 15h for its `delay' implementation.
