Eventing Works

Well, it took weeks, but I finally got eventing to work in our project (CoreACSI), using multithreading and semaphores. The bulk of the time was wasted on finding a multithreading library, when in actual fact Sisco's MMS-EASE Lite API came with multithreading capabilities, the documentation of which was neatly tucked away in Appendix E of the 400-page reference manual and took up a dinky 10 pages. In any case, once I found the needle in the haystack it only took about 2 days (which amounts to, what, 5 or 6 hours of actual work?) to implement and test. There remains a lot of work to be done, though, including my report due at the end of this month, which I have not started on.
