Continue working; with the exception of the main thread, of course. When the main thread terminates, the program exists, so all other running threads are terminated/canceled/exited/whatever term you want to use. Note if you're using pthreads directly: all threads created should eventually be joined on some thread (doesn't have to be the creator). If you never intend to call pthread_join() on a thread, then call pthread_detach(). _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
