    NAME
        Delay -- Delay a process for a specified time

    SYNOPSIS
        Delay( ticks )
               D1

        void Delay(ULONG)

    FUNCTION
        The argument 'ticks' specifies how many ticks (50 per second) to
        wait before returning control.

    INPUTS
        ticks - integer

    BUGS
        Due to a bug in the timer.device in V1.2/V1.3, specifying a timeout
        of zero for Delay() can cause the unreliable timer & floppy disk
        operation.  This is fixed in V36 and later.
