It's from control theory. In an open loop control system I just send the system messages to tell it how to behave, whereas in a closed loop system I get messages back so I can check that it's doing what I want. Think of the difference between a simple mixer tap and a thermostatic mixer. Open loop: +----+ +-----+ | Me | --- message ---> | You | +----+ +-----+ Closed loop: +----+ --- subscription from ---> +-----+ | Me | | You | +----+ <---- subscribed to ------ +-----+ Tony. -- f.a.n.finch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://dotat.at/ RATTRAY HEAD TO BERWICK ON TWEED: SOUTHWEST 4 OR 5, DECREASING 3 IN NORTH.
