(some people beleife in free software. i believe in free documentation). ofcourse, that's only to get your started. if you'll want to truly master threading, reading the source is an idea, as well as possibly reading a book. btw, the best way to learn a subject, is to write a tutorial about it, or prepare a _thorought_ lecture. you'd be surprised how effective these methods can be - provided you are a profficient programmer, with a good theoretical background. when that's the case - the concepts are usually not realy new - if you did enough multi-process programming, switching into multi-threading is much easier then if you have never done any multi-process programming. (multi process is NOT client-server - that's a very simplistic model, which teaches only a small part of the IPC world). -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
