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?
