Hi,
      nice job, but does not work with threads ..
The t2 thread in the following code almost never runs (since the "cn.wait"
in the first thread blocks the main ruby thread and any other thread).
Is there any plan to correct this ?


require "win32/changenotify"
include Win32
t1 = Thread.new {
      cn = ChangeNotify.new("c:\\",false,ChangeNotify::FILE_NAME |
ChangeNotify::DIR_NAME)

      # Check for file and/or dir changes for 5 minute

      puts "This script will wait on notifications for 5 minutes"
      1.upto(3){
         if cn.wait(100000) == 1
            puts "change notified"
            cn.reset
         end
         sleep 1
      }
}

t2 = Thread.new {
      300.times {|i|
            sleep(0.5)
            puts i
            }
}

t2.join
t1.join
