Yes, of course. I think the actor model is much more general-purpose, at least in so far as it seems much simpler to describe flow-based programming using actors than to describe actors using flow-based programming. > I was under the impression that an Actor was a function that did just > one thing? Or are there variations on the model? Did you read the Wikipedia article? An actor is an independent concurrent entity which can exchange messages with other actors, create new actors, and designate the behavior for each message received. -- [ Peter Amstutz ][ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ][ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [Lead Programmer][Interreality Project][Virtual Reality for the Internet] [ VOS: Next Generation Internet Communication][ http://interreality.org ] [ http://interreality.org/~tetron ][ pgpkey: pgpkeys.mit.edu 18C21DF7 ]
