April CRITICAL_SECTION
This the context switching between processes, to be multi-tasking. You use it to keep the system from switching when you have something really important, then release it. Some may use it to keep their stuff processing and act badly, that is not what it is far. I have some code that reads critical data from serial ports, once I have the data I release. Others, such as mutex are for threading, etc. Hopes this helps some. -- Rick Sivernell Dallas, Texas 75287 972 306-2296 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Registered Linux User _______________________________________________ Scite-interest mailing list Scite-interest@lyra.org http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scite-interest
