- Could someone please supply me with a demonstrably working example of
- the use of poll words with Wimp_Poll(Idle) under RiscOS3, i.e. the new
- extension allowing one to do a Wimp_Poll and have the wimp pass
- control back to you when a given word of memory becomes non-zero?
-
- I have tried using this facility - it didn't seem to work, either
- under 3.0 or 3.1, although it was documented in the developer
- pre-release notes. These notes also cited NetFiler as a module that
- used the facility - I disemboweled that module and extracted the
- appropriate code, which also failed to work...
