This is true also with pthreads I believe. There is no real portable way to 'cancel' (as pthreads calls it) a thread. Does Java even support this? You'd think it must since there is no non-blocking operation in Java. This is just a failure with current thread systems almost across the board. Maybe someday we'll have a solution :) jack. _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
