Thanks! Didn't know it was so simple... I was kind of intimidated by "wait". Thought, well, that it suspended the thread no matter what.
Another question, out of curiosity: Is it possible to have one thread wait for 2 other threads to finish? Would it also be solved with Semaphores like this? s1 := Semaphore forMutualExclusion. s2 := Semaphore forMutualExclusion. [ s1 wait. do stuff .... s1 signal] fork. [ s2 wait. do stuff ..... s2 signal ] fork. s1 wait. s2 wait. "Here we are sure the two other processes finished, kind of..." Or is there a more "friendly" way? :-) Thanks again!
