I certainly doesn't. (Well, it takes zero.) The argument to it is a
DWORD, an unsigned 32-bit integer.  (useconds + 999) / 1000  is an
integer division which results in an integer result. (And even if it
was an expression of type float or double, the prototype for Sleep()
means the argument would be converted to a DWORD before calling
Sleep() anyway. Perhaps you need to read up on how the C language
works.)

As that article that was linked to earlier in this thread showed
through experimentation, not very accurate.

Is C++ involved?
