need to create a timer for a simulator

hi out there coders, i have been working on a simulator for a bank. but i am having a problem with creating a timer to track the duration of a process. the compiler i am using "c++ BloodShed compiler " and it does not have the delay function. so can any one help me out with where i can get a good compiler. the program is in c++ and if you can show me how to go about with the timer. thanks

Amongst the best compilers out there is gnu c++: http://gcc.gnu.org/

However, if you've developing under window then try the Borland C++ compiler: http://www.codegear.com/downloads/free/cppbuilder

Its an excellent ANSI compliant compiler.

Neither of these come with a GUI development environment. For that you might want to consider Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org

I've not done it, but you should be able to get Eclipse to work with Borland, try this for starters: http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.cdt/msg02471.html
