Jonathan, The reason I need to thread is not anything to do with AsyncSocket, which is an excellent library that does not block. I have several time consuming operations that must occur sequentially. These sequences need to run (start/stop) asynchronous of each other, so I want these to run in separate execution threads.
The "old school" way that I used to manage multiple asynchronous sequences like this was to use complex state machines, but I am sure that you will agree that separate threads is certainly the way to go. I am just having difficulty getting my head around the run loop in the worker threads. I have also tried the ThreadWorker library, that although has some awesome features, does not let my AsyncSocket objects run properly. And thanks, I appreciate any and all feedback, Matt -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 5:04 PM To: cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com Subject: Re: Threading problem using AsyncSocket (Matthew Youney) I don't know about your threading problem but surely the whole point of AsyncSocket is the Async bit. It is designed to attach itself to the runloop and remove the need for blocking sockets etc on threads. I use AsyncSocket extensively within the main thread and it can handle multiple connection without any problem. > Hello list, > This is my first attempt at threading with Cocoa, and I am having > difficu= > lty > with my classes that use AsyncSocket.

Something fundamentally wro= ng? Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
