Title: background event?
Post by: newdep on March 01, 2004, 01:08:25 PM
Hello Lutz,



Does newlisp have a way to background events in console mode?

(i do not meen backgrounding with "&")



I would like to have a function running in the background while

working on the same console, for global functions that

do console IO it would be nice to have a 'MAIN:event where you could but

a function in, that on itself is checked every xxxx milisecond and executes

if needed otherwise returns IO to console again...

Not in the forseeable future. I started on a simple thread implementation some time ago but pushed it further down on the list of things to do, to get other things out of the way, there is a design for it and it will happen some day.
