Hi, I need multi-threading for my HTTP monitoring Rebol script. If Rebol support multi-threading ? Thanks, Ian

No, but... It does support asynchronous I/O which for networked apps is even neater. --Maarten

Hi I am new to REBOL and I have an important question: Does REBOL support something like "Multi-Threading" (Java,NT) or fork() (like on UNIX-Machines), because if not - it will not have a great potential, even if it is a great and unique language - so don't get me wrong. But, maybe somebody can answer the question and also give me some resources where I can find more technical details how the REBOL interpreter works and not just the language itself. Thanks, Rob

in /Pro version, you can 'call externall apps, so you can start another rebol.exe instance :-), or, - you can look at 'launch function (type help launch in the console). But no threading ... not yet ;-) Cheers, -pekr-

something like "Multi-Threading" yes, like java,nt or unix not. events have to be handled completely, before the next can be processed. but one can trigger new events by timer to run permanently. try boids on esoup and use the gui while the animations continues :) thats very near to real threads, but a lot simpler to synchronize. JBed uses similar threading for its realtime part. its a dr-dobbs-mentioned realtime-java. JBed guis say its a lot easier to predict runtime (higly important for hard realtime).
