If only that were possible. No, that's not my point. But semas/events are certainly difficult enough to use in all but the simplest cases that they were removed from the library. > Or are you claiming that the code I have shown contains a race condition > (which I still don't see) ? I haven't seen your code to say for sure, but from the limited description I believe there's a very high probability that this is the case. -- William E.
