Subject: Re: Non-blocking 'gets' ?

Wow, that is quite complex.  Thank you!

I also managed to discover another usable method: run a 'system' command 
in a new thread.  That seems to release the blocking on gets by creating 
a second process, and as far as I can tell will work on both Windows and 
*nix.  The downside is that the two processes can't really communicate 
with each other much, but in my case I don't need them to.

Thanks everyone for you help :)
