That looks like a good suggestion.
I suppose the other thing that could be suggested here is that if a true stall of all code execution is really what is desired, and precison wasn't a primary concern, that a simple FOR/NEXT loop could be setup to approximate the correct delay.
Code:
#define LOOPTIME 50 // emperically choose a number that provides the desired timer resultion
void Sleep(unsigned int timer) {
unsigned int i;
while(timer--) {
for (i=0;i<LOOPTIME;i++);
}
}
