Hi, a simple question: if my program starts a thread, does it wait until the thread finishes or do it run futher?
Other harder question: if I fill an array or other complex datastructure is it a pain in the neck to give it over to the main-prog, (like it is with processes...) or is it easy? > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Hanson, Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet am: Dienstag, 17.
