Thanks Eddie,
Sorry for posting a message I should have known the answer to. I'll have
a look at the semaphore example. If anyone knows of a good refence for
semaphore programming could they please let me know?Its taken me a
while to get into the swing of things, but I'm starting to really like this
environment.Now if I can just wrap it in CORBA, I'll have a project
finished ;-)

| (...) Semaphores: You said you installed Linux, try "man sem_post". Also kernel/program.c is a good reference for a semaphore use. A more complicated example is the tx_sem in kernel/lnp-logical.c and kernel/lnp.c. Eddie C. Dost ecd@skynet.be (24 years ago, 11-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
