 mwait  v1.8  (e) 2020  Lorence Lombardo.

?

"mwait" is a multi unit wait command for "ROM 1.x+" and has been
tested on "ROM1.3".

 Usage:-

 mwait <value> [unit]

 Units:- 

 S = second 
 M = millisecond
 T = tick 
 N = miNut
 H = hour 
 U = TU

 Default unit is microsecond.

If the <value> contains the ":" character then the value will be read
as "M:S" or "H:M:S" format with fractions of seconds also supported.

Fractions are also supported on the units above microsecond when
[unit] is supplied.

The [unit] argument does not apply to "M:S" or "H:M:S" format.

"mwait's" accuracy is best on fast CPU's.

E source included.


NB: "minute" is an ambiguous word in the context of this work.
    Compiles for OS4 and MOS have not been tested by me,
    since I don't have those OS's at the moment.
