Are there some high level crossplatform semaphore functions in the FCL?
The cthreads/cIntSemaphoreOpen etc. seem to be available on unix only.
What about OS/2?
Careful, these are thread semaphores, I think. I am talking about
cross-process semaphores. They are in the baseunix/unix units.
I suppose OS/2 has semaphores, but Tomas will need to confirm.
OS/2 certainly has semaphores (three types of them, in fact ;-) - event
semaphores, mutex semaphores and muxwait semaphores).
and there's also file based semaphores still used by a huge number of programs
to signal needed actions between disparate programs that may be pressed into
operation together ;)
