Is Multi Threading Possible

Hi,

I have been a long time Foxpro user (since Fox v1), but now need multi OS solutions and multi threading.

Both of which Fox cannot do.

Can Rev handle multi threading?

Thanks

No, but maybe there are other solutions to what you want to do. For instance the "send message in time" syntax may serve the purpose for you. Can you give us a clue as to a situation that needs multithreading?

Thanks for the reply.

I need to get information from 4 different sites (3 x TAB plus Betfair) on the WEB. This info is refreshed every 20 seconds.

I can't afford the time of a single process going to each site. Speed of results is paramount.

You might like to have a look at my curl library (libRevCurl) - it opens a new (non-blocking) curl process for each request, and so can make parallel requests. If you're on windows, you'll need to install curl to use it.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about it.
