Clever! I can see how this might solve Wojtek's USB problem.
I don't *think* this would be a very good solution for my
particular situation, because of the rather convoluted way
I need to interact between Blackbox->Fortran DLL->Blackbox,
plus the long running command puts up some graphic displays
to monitor progress and has some interactivity. Hmm...
Frankly, all I'd really need is for Oberon Microsystems
to add some sort of "yield" procedure, which would temporarily
allow the Blackbox framework (and any Actions) to have
some processor time during my long running command. Then
I could call this repeatedly while I'm in the Fortran DLL.
I even recall having some e-mail exchanges with someone at
Oberon Microsystems back in 1996 who was considering adding
something like this to Oberon/F v1.2, but I don't
think it ever happened. I don't think this would add much
of the complexity required for full-blown multi-threading,
but it would sure solve my problem...
