Hi Mike,

 MR> I'm currently working on a design that will allow up to 
 MR> eight simultaneous transfers (using the threading support 
 MR> of OREXX).

This sentence caught my eye, I have not dabbled in OREXX too much (actually I
have tried to avoid anything to do with OBJECTS until I absolutely HAVE
to......;-)), but can you please elaborate on how OREXX implements
Multi-threading? Is each thread under explicit coder control (IE can a control 
thread stop/start other threads?), or is it "dynamic" threading within OREXX
that does not allow explicit thread control? 

I have implemented multi-threading in C many years ago, and have a project for 
Rexx that could use it nicely, but I may have to dig more into OREXX to get to 
grips with the requirements for using it.

Cheers..........pk.
