Upload Information Template for Hobbes.nmsu.edu =============================================== Archive Filename: Cereal_1-0-0.zip Short Description: Cereal 1.0.0 (2002-06-28) Long Description: Multiple resource serialization for REXX programs. The Problem: A VX-REXX program needs to manage a pool of N fundamentally identical resources. Several different threads may need them simultaneously, and one thread may require more than one at a time. Each routine needs to request a resource and be told which one (1-N) it has been allocated, and then needs to relinquish control when it is finished. The Cereal Solution: Let Cereal manage your semaphores. Just call CerealRequest to ask for a resource; and when you're finished, call CerealRelease with the resource ID. The Cereal functions are thread-safe, and process-separate. Includes binaries and source code. Freeware.
