Actually, it's not my own invention, and I'm sure that others have
done something similar. All I did was create a thread of "MAX_PRIORITY"
that just goes right to sleep. It preempts everything else, then gives
the little guys a chance to do their thing. (and I write a minimum of
extra code to keep everything moving) Maybe "honorable hack" is a better
term than "elegant". <smile>
Thanks for the info- my java-idealism was getting just a little
out of controll there for a second... ;)
