- I finally got around to reading the Sept. 14, 1993 PC Magazine,
- and came across the article "Multithreading and Graphics Under
- Windows NT" by Charles Petzold. It describes a simple multi-threaded
- app: four windows are continually updated to display an increasing
- sequence of numbers, an increasing sequence of fibonacci numbers,
- an increasing series of primes, and a series of circles of random
- size drawn in random places.
-
- As I'm pretty annoyed by all the hype surrounding NT, I figured I'd
- do it under NeXTSTEP. This is the result. It does nothing useful,
- really, just what's described above.
-
- Fun stuff included: Distributed objects and threads.
- Lindes of code count is about the same as NT, but the NeXT version is,
- of course, much more functional.
-
- Compiled under NeXTSTEP 3.1. Haven't tried it under Intel.
