I don't know if it is related or not, but I already reported /Pro
version problems using call/wait in button action block. Sometimes it
crashes, sometimes it doesn't ...
I just hope we will get the top super ultra cool event/tasking/threading
system one day :-) We are not so much far away - View is single threaded
and look what can be achieved by clever event handling. We just need
more non-blocking, async behavior, and RT expressed their will to
support us with async protocols in some possibly not so distant future.
I hope more port types will come "waitable - non-blocking" (e.g. ODBC
..)
