i.e., "SYNCHRONIZE"? weird stuff, I wonder if they just conditionally map file handles to event-objects somewhere in the kernel to achieve this? btw, what a nice, svelte API that is! good thing wine is here to bring the fun of windows programming to the world of unix -- otherwise thousands would be deprived of the joy of working with API's like that one when developing driver-level code. I guess that API is part of the NT "microkernel" eh? ;) -- gmt "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better persons than himself." -- John Stuart Mill
