- indeed, I just suggested a third method - the original thread started
- with a choice between semaphores and messages, I just added a
- third option (it seems that most Amiga-programmers do not use this
- simple and easy method).

- Anyway, use semaphores as a future-safe, multitasking-friendly method
- of performing critical actions in your multitasking-code.
