But you can use mechanisms such as named pipes ore even regular files and file descriptors for synchronization and data sharing. Both Perl and Tcl has provisions for real threading (although I, personally, don't like threads; too few developers are meticulous enough in handling such code to assure prevention of data corruption. But I digress.) -- Dave Ihnat dihnat@xxxxxxxxxx
