Hi, Does anyone know why the system hangs with no reaction if I use
sleep 10; in a Win_OnTimer subroutine? It sleeps for 10 seconds, and I cannot even close the program in those 10 seconds. Then the program works fine again until the timer runs again that function. I want to use sleep() just to test how the program works if it does something for a few seconds, like downloading something from a web site. If I want to create a program that downloads periodically something and save into afile, then periodically gets the data from that file and displays it, is it absolutely necessary to use fork() or threads? (and if yes, which of them do you recommend?) Thank you. Teddy
