Timers in Console Applications

I'm having trouble figuring out how to create and use a timer in
Windows when you don't want to build an actual windowed application,
but rather are making a console app. All examples I've found so tie
timers directly into the windows.

For Example:

[url]http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.win32.systemevents.createtimer(VS.80).aspx[/url]

Any suggestions?

PS I am NOT using dot net

For timers that do not need a window you can use CreateWaitableTimer,
Sleep, or timeSetEvent, or WaitForMultipleObjects with a timeout. But
since you don't have a message queue you have to invent your own system
for figuring out how to integrate the timer notification with your
application code.
