Re^2: A continually running process

Getting Glib installed on Win32 just to obtain a timer would be most perverse.

All windows programs have message loop accessible and therefore, an event loop and timers, along with a whole plethora of other waitable timers and synchronisation mechanisms.

Suggesting Glib or Tk in order to avoid disabling buffering on STDOUT is, well, let's just say: overkill.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Well you are probably right, however my point was to make becca23 aware of the benefit of using timers rather than sleep..... where or how she gets the timer makes no matter to me. Timers alllow program expansion and/or control, which sleep precludes. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth CandyGram for Mongo	[reply]
