Greetings,
I am writing a program in Ada which uses a blend of X events and socket
communication with other ada programs. I am running into a problem doing this,
because when a call is made to wait for a socket (or get the next X Event), the
whole Ada program (only one Unix process) blocks, and so other tasks don't
continue running. Is there any way of overcoming this problem, apart from using
a busy loop to continually poll for events?
Oh, I am using Verdix Ada 5.5 on an Encore MultiMax under Unix.
Could you also e-mail me directly, as I don't read this newsgroup
often.
Bradley.
