This has nothing to do with multiple event queues. You're talking about concurrency, which can be supported fine with just one event queue. In Cocoa, the main thread is responsible for managing the app's event queue. You'll find the same thing is done quite frequently on Windows. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
