- I will not be running that many threads. Somewhere around 30-40, but most of
- them will be blocking so it should not be that bad. The problem is that these
- 30-40 Threads will all be using the same globel data. I will have about 300
- different lists that I will have to protect. The idea thing is to let as many
- threads read as they like, but only let the lists be update by one thread at a
- time. Which means that I will have to make sure no one is looking at the list
- when this is done. So, the only way to do it is to use 2 semephores. So now I
- am using at least 600 sems just for the lists. And that is not the only place I
- have to protect data.
- There are RAM semephore in OS/2 2.0? I thought RAM semephore were taking out?

- Thanks for your input
- Matthew
