It turned out that semaphores were easier than I expected. Now that I understand them, I'm even more skeptical that they belong in Event. I'm not saying that I would reject an implementation, but they seem like too specialized a mechanism for commonplace Event'ing. Graham, I still have an old non-working pm file in the demo directory that implemented semaphores for Event. -- "Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by stupidity." via, but not speaking for Deutsche Bank
