Hi!
It seems to me (after some more searching in select -statement variations)
that the I should use the construction select...or.._else_ to achieve what I
intended.
But this disussion brings another question to my mind; from some e-threads I
read here I have got the impression that I _have_ to perform delay n; in the
code so that all tasks get a slice of the execution (perhaps this goes for
OS or CPU that does not handle HW multitasking or something?) Is this a
true, or can I assume that Ada (and/or the OS it is running in) slices
executions on every platform it is implemented?
I can understand that a delay n; makes good sense if a task does not have to
execute continously and a delay therefore can give execution slices to other
tasks instead.
Frank
