You are welcome, Ian. I am a bit curious about J support for dylibs. I currently do not have any way to try it myself, but the J DLL documentation does say:
J can call procedures that are compiled in a shared library file. In Windows these files are called DLLs (dynamic link libraries) and have a .dll extension. In Linux they are called shared libraries or shared objects and have a .so extension. In Mac they are called dynamic libraries and have a .dylib extension. The term DLL is used here for all platforms. A procedure in a DLL is called by its name and filename. It is true that there may not be dylib functionality for Darwin that matches what Windows has for timer usage, but I saw a function "dispatch_source_set_timer" in the GCD reference from Apple that seemed as if it might be a start.
