RE: Interrupt

[Julie Russell]

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply. I have now tried to implement a Conditional, however
I can't find an example of this anywhere. I tried doing this:

mutex->enterMutex();
conditional->wait(20000); (timeout in 20 secs)
mutex->leaveMutex();

however it doesn't appear to wait 20 seconds... Can you post a basic example
of how this conditional is implemented. That would help a lot. I passed the
conditional from the class that calls the signal, saw an example of a wait
that did that.

Regards,
Julie.
