there was a c program which i got from this website. i pasted the program into a text editor. i then compiled the program, and it compiled without any errors. but when i went to run the program nothing seemed to happen. the program was supposed to scroll text slowly accross the screen. just wondering what i am doing wrong?
one question i have is the command to run the program, i tried the following:

Code:

./nodoff.out 500 filename

where filename is the name of a file in my current working directory. one thing i will mention is that i am running mac os x 10.5.2 leopard. i am using terminal and a gcc compiler. i don't know if the fact that i am running leopard should have an effect on the computer not being able to run the c program?
here is the source file of the program which i called nodoff.c:

Code:

#ifdef __STDC__
#define PROTOTYPICAL
#endif
#ifdef __cplusplus
#define PROTOTYPICAL
#endif

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

#ifdef PROTOTYPICAL
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
#else
main(argc,argv)
char *argv[];
#endif

{
        int millisecs, microsecs;
        struct timeval tv;

        millisecs=atoi(argv[1]);
        microsecs=millisecs*1000;

        tv.tv_sec=microsecs/1000000;
        tv.tv_usec=microsecs%1000000;

        select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, &tv);
        exit(0);
}

any help would be appreciated.
