That's an interesting issue, and I suspect you are right, although the language may require the select statement to make an arbitrary choice in this circumstance. I'm not sure. However, I was referring to the "priority" we are trying to encode into the 3 entries, not task priority. If we make a development policy that they are to be the same (relatively), then I guess it would work out as you say. But in that case, you might as well use the Priority_Queuing entry queuing policy, and not even have to worry about guards at all. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
