  15. :p.  The SEMAPH application is a sample Presentation Manager application
  16. which demonstrates the use of Mutex, Event and Mux Semaphores.
  17. In the application several threads are sharing access to the same
  18. resource.  A mutex semaphore is used to guarantee that only one thread
  19. has access to the resource at a time.  An event semaphore is used to
  20. signal the thread to give up the resource.  The event semaphore can
  21. by posted by the user or the application can be run in auto mode, in which
  22. case the event semaphore will be posted at fixed time intervals.
  23. A Mux semaphore is used to check for a stop event or a user signal to give
  24. up the resource.  This application also serves as a template than can be
  25. easily modified by an application developer.
