That requires you to first tell us what OS you work with, what compiler, what IDE. Only then we can give you any educated advice. For example, if you work with a console application for Unix/Linux, then you don't have much of a choice but to implement a multi-threaded application; at least not that I know of. On the other hand, if you work with Windows, then you can simply add a timer to your program which rings every ten seconds; then your main event loop will simply have to react to these messages accordingly. You see, the possible approaches heavily depend on OS and environment. Regards, Nico
