NAME
    TimeDelay -- Return after a period of time has elapsed.

SYNOPSIS
    Error = TimeDelay( Unit, Seconds, MicroSeconds )
    D0                 D0    D1       D2

    LONG TimeDelay( LONG, ULONG, ULONG );

FUNCTION
    Waits for the period of time specified before returning to the
    the caller.

INPUTS
    Unit -- timer.device unit to open for this command.
    Seconds -- The seconds field of a timerequest is filled with
        this value. Check the documentation for what a partucular
        timer.device unit expects there.
    MicroSeconds -- The microseconds field of a timerequest is
        filled with this value. Check the documentation for what
        a particular timer.device units expects there.

RESULTS
    Error -- will be zero if all went well; otherwise, non-zero.

NOTES
    Two likely reasons for failures are invalid unit numbers or
    no more free signal bits for this task.

    While this function first appears in V37 amiga.lib, it works
    on Kickstart V33 and higher.
