: Ooooppps... I guess this is my unix (vs. windows) background showing :(.
: Will Nano-X also have a timer API added, or is this just for
: Microwindows?
I suggest that the Nano-X timer api be similar, but have an event
sent that is returned by GrGetNextEvent().

: Just out of curiosity, how do you plan to use select() since this will
: block until the timeout expires?
:
Select()'s timeout value is set as follows:
if no timers present, set to 0 (infinite wait)
if timers present, set the timeout equal to the
amount of timeout left in the smallest timer.
: BTW. The article posted at linuxdevices.com was great!
Thanks. There's quite a bit more plans for more press, so stay tuned!
