>I refer to your email where you expressed disappointment that I had not replied to your reply here.

First of all, had I wished to bring this "on-line", I wouldn't actually have e-mailed you privately. I will consider the sanctity of my private message to you well and truly breached :)

I do a lot of work with multi-threading, multi-tasking and thread synchronisation. This is an "area" that I personally enjoy and as a result was simply keen to know whether the proposed solution or suggestion actually helped you - nothing more, nothing less.

Cheers
