- You shouldn't have to simulate it, you should be able to use it. The
- notifier (according to it's documentation in the XVIEW manual) does not
- actually need XVIEW to run - it can be used by any code, XVIEW or not.
-
- On the other hand, if your OLIT code does not use the notifier, then
- you certainly don't need to start up the notifier just to use
- notify_set_wait3_func() ! :-). Just use wait3(2).
-
- Note: I haven't actually used OLIT yet, so take the above for what
- it's worth.
