I think I have a bad <winbase.h> file. When compiling, I get 102 errors
when I include this file. All the errors are based in this file as well.

My proggy works ok w/o this header however. Could someone let me have a
copy of this file, maybe mine is corrupt. I'm using VC5. I'm trying to
use the sleep command in VC5. Could someone post how to do this. Maybe
i'm doing it wrong too.
Thanks.

Are you sure the errors are actually in the winbase.h file, and not
"leftover" errors (like a missing ; or } ) from the header file
immediately preceeding it? Or perhaps you haven't included "windows.h"?

For example, do you get the same errors if you create an empty win32
console program and use this code:

// cut here -----
// Note that windows.h is also included. This brings in some #defines
// necessary for winbase.h to build.
#include <windows.h>
#include <winbase.h>
int main(void)
{
  return 0;

// cut here -----

Ahh...I wasn't aware that you had to include windows.h
here is what my script looks like now. I'm building w/ a dos window. If there is
an easy way to move this to windows programming, I'd like to know how.
Thanks.

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h> //used for clrscr function
#include <ctype.h>  //used for 'toupper'
//#include <dos.h> //used for 'sleep' function(BC5)
#include <winbase.h>
..cut...
 case 5:
  All(First, Second, Choice);
  return 0;
  break;
 default:     //used if illegal key is hit
  Sleep (500);    //pauses for 5 seconds         <---this is where I'm trying to
use it.
  cout<<"Keyboard error. Re-enter: \n";
  system("cls");
  break;

Thank.
