You're not missing anything, I was. I was sticking to the event-handling stuff already done in SKS and I know nothing about how cleanly O'Caml lets you use threads and combine the two models. If it's easy and clean, then my oversight was ... glaring. None of the current membership has any kind of locking against concurrent updates -- how much is needed, with O'Caml, and how much locking done automatically? -Phil _______________________________________________ Sks-devel mailing list Sks-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/sks-devel
