Where does policy come from? Is the source the reference, is there some policy somewhere, or something to refer to determine the most right solution to a problem? Or do I just ask "hackers"? For example, I'm in need of a millsecond or microsecond delay function for a device driver. Does DELAY() do what I expect? Some of the drivers seem to use other strategies for achieveing this affect. Also, I'm in need if a 'do { } while (!done && !timeout)'. Is there a recommended way to implement this in device drivers. Thanks, Brian Litzinger brian@easynet.com
