Sure, the Ada tasking model is (IMHO) infinitely preferable to attempting to simulate the same thing in C. But if all you have is C, you can still get all the same capabilities by using OS operations to roll your own. It hurts a lot - and I really hate it when that happens - but you can get there. :-) MDC -- Marin David Condic Senior Software Engineer Pace Micro Technology Americas www.pacemicro.com Enabling the digital revolution e-Mail: marin.condic@pacemicro.com "Richard Riehle" wrote in message news:3CA2A827.11140295@adaworks.com... > > This approach, of course, does not come close to the capabilities > already built-in to the Ada tasking model.
