pause()



I'm trying to compile a UNIX application (the LambdaMOO server) under
Gnu-win32, but have been experiencing some difficulties.

The program prefers to use virtual timers if possible (using setitimer &
getitimer); are they available somewhere?

As part of its timer routines, it sets a SIGALRM handler, calls alarm(),
and then pause().  pause() has a prototype in the standard headers (in
sys/unistd.h), but ld reports that it cannot find the routine in the library.

Any suggestions?  And if I cannot use pause(), is there a function that
performs a similar function?  (I am familar with C but have no UNIX
experience).
