So, how are people handling the console in Windows ruby programs, when using threads? Because my software is actually running under Linux, it isnt a showstopper for me, but it is making development more difficult. Am I supposed to communicate through a socket to do "console" io or something? Take Care, Mark P.S. If I had even the slightest idea how to do it, I would try to write a C extension to handle this. Sigh. -----Original Message----- From: nobu.nokada@softhome.net [mailto:nobu.nokada@softhome.net] Sent: 14 August 2002 01:01 To: ruby-talk@ruby-lang.org Subject: Re: reading without process blocking.
