Am I asking too much for one line?
I do not understand what you are looking for. However, to me, "in parallel" means "independent". If they interact, they are not really in parallel because later parts of the sequence of states in one depends on earlier parts of the sequence of states in the other. But another issue is the number of states you are dealing with. ;: works rather well with a small number of states, but if you need a lot of states (thousands, maybe?), there might be better approaches. Meanwhile some concepts that sound like what you might be describing can be handled by forming states which are the cartesian product of the module's states. And... there are other issues... -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
