(MS-DOS) Delay Time

Question

I went through several ways to cause a time delay such as pings and dirs. Although none of them is truly accurate, is there a suitable way to cause a time delay?

I have heard of a few things, although they do not work on all computers, not on my Windows XP or Windows NT in college.

It takes a lot of time to go through all the files on Google in order to find a good answer, and since I have not yet found the stack overflow question, I thought it would be nice to create the question itself;)
