I would like to relinquish the CPU from a thread so I thought using boost::thread::sleep(...). However, I have no idea how to initialize its argument. It looks like this is a boost::system_time. How to initiliaze such a type so my thread waits 20ms, 100ms...!?

You can use boost::thread::sleep(boost::get_system_time()+boost::posix_time::milliseconds(20)); or use the new this_thread namespace version of sleep: boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(20)); Anthony -- Anthony Williams | Just Software Solutions Ltd Custom Software Development | http://www.justsoftwaresolutions.co.uk Registered in England, Company Number 5478976.

Just use #include boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(20)); Best regards, Peter.
