In my AOL documentation there is only one:

ns_event wait eventid lockid ?timeout?

for some reasons, I suspect that some of my events that have timeout
specified (1 sec.) don't wake automatically on timeout.
Searching through the sources, I found that I can use also :

ns_event timedwait
ns_event abswait
ns_event wait

with or without timeout value.


Just a question, what are the differences between timedwait, abswait and
wait, with or without timeout value.

I tried timedwait with 1 sec timeout, my procedure is looping forever
never waiting for 1 second, I tried also timedwait with 1000 (thinking
it may be miliseconds) but no difference, so ... what's the deal with
timedwait and timeout value?

I'm using AOL server 3.4 compiled by myself on a Linux Mandrake 8.0
i386.
