I finally got around to reading the Sept. 14, 1993 PC Magazine, and came across the article "Multithreading and Graphics Under Windows NT" by Charles Petzold. It describes a simple multi-threaded app: four windows are continually updated to display an increasing sequence of numbers, an increasing sequence of fibonacci numbers, an increasing series of primes, and a series of circles of random size drawn in random places. As I'm pretty annoyed by all the hype surrounding NT, I figured I'd do it under NeXTSTEP. This is the result. It does nothing useful, really, just what's described above. Fun stuff included: Distributed objects and threads. Lindes of code count is about the same as NT, but the NeXT version is, of course, much more functional. Compiled under NeXTSTEP 3.1. Haven't tried it under Intel. Don McGregor mcgredo@prism.cs.orst.edu
