NAME            sleep -- stop execution for interval



SYNOPSIS        (seconds in r0)

                sys sleep  / sleep = 35.; not in assembler



DESCRIPTION     The current process is suspended from execution

                for the number of seconds specified by the con-

                tents of register 0.



SEE ALSO        --



DIAGNOSTICS     --



BUGS            Due to the implementation, the sleep interval is

                only accurate to 256 60ths of a second (4.26

                sec).  Even then, the process is placed on a low

                priority queue and must be scheduled.
