Hey Greg, thanks for the reply. <<Maarten Koopmans has written a lightweight threading engine for use in Rugby, which does cooperative multithreading, and I have built something similar myself.>>
I'll take a look into Rugby. <<< If a rebol script checked my inbox for messages and replied to those that were on my "friends" list it would read and reply one at a time. Is it possible to concurrently check multiple emails? >>> <<In this example, given that the volume will probably be very low, what does it gain you?>> You're right in that for my personal mail, I shouldn't have an issue. However, what if such a solution were to be used for corporation or even as a service to the mass market were potentially hundreds of emails are being sent per minute?

Hi Matt, << Is it possible for REBOL to multi-thread? If that's what its called. Is there an example on the rebol site? >> Since multi-threading often causes more problems than it solves, the real question is: Do you *need* it? Another approach, of course, is that you might build a larger system out of multiple scripts, each of which would be handled by the OS but could communicate with the others via some IPC mechanism. --Gregg -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes. -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
