| My App comprises 4 separate apps.
1. Mail Manager 2. Mail Manager Loop Runner 3. Mail Manager Item Printer 4. Mail Manager Mailer
Number 1 calls the other 3, setting them up with saved desktop variable list files, which they read, and delete, and process, then Quit.
Number 2 takes about 15-20 seconds to process an email, setting up folders to the boot disk & a server, and saving all mail attachments in a processing folder.
Number 3 takes a while to expand compressed files, open each image file, print it with barcode, and file name, and re-saves the barcoded/named image. Everything is saved with triple redundancies.
Number 4 prints reports.
If I could run numbers 2 (processing a second email), while number 3 printed the first email, and keep going, I could save 15+ seconds per email, which is highly desirable in my case.
However, I’ve found that when telling number 2 to print, the main loop in 1. stops. Likewise when running number 3. In other words, they’ll only run consecutively.
Is there any way of running them simultaneously?
