I just need to explain it more clearly. Semaphores and wait queues seem complicated to me :> > He's out of time, so money is not likely to help. Sending some money > to Nigel might do the trick ;-). Sending money to me won't help either, except with getting support for new hardware. I'm working on finding and blatting a little but significant bug that's made its way in since 2.0. Then I'm only going to be working on merging. Rob, I would concentrate on figuring out what makes Pavel's version work for you and the other two not work. Perhaps then we can adjust our implementations to address the issue and make you a happy camper :> Regards, Nigel -- Nigel & Michelle Cunningham C/- Westminster Presbyterian Church Belconnen 61 Templeton Street, Cook, ACT 2614. +61 (2) 6251 7727(wk); +61 (2) 6254 0216 (home) Evolution (n): A hypothetical process whereby infinitely improbable events occur with alarming frequency, order arises from chaos, and no one is given credit.
