Multi-Threading in NetRexx

[Bruce Weise]

Does NetRexx support Multi-Threading?  More specifically, does it support
syncronization between thread (i.e. wait(), notify(), notifyAll()).
synchronized does not appear to be a valid keyword.  Does anyone have an
example of threads using wait() and notify() in NetRexx?

Thanks.
B.

Bruce, NetRexx uses the very same Java APIs for threads (that you
seem to know already, therefore I won't go into detail here) -- it only
changes the keyword that indicates synchronization: NetRexx wants
"protect".

"protect" can be applied to methods, do, loop and select construct.
[See the docs for more details]

Yes, all those work exactly as in Java.  The keyword in NetRexx is
'protect'.  (I changed it from 'synchronized' after observing that in
Java it is very hard to type correctly -- as nicely demonstrated by
your note :-).

Yes....replace synchronized with protect.
