Look at the NDRunLoopMessenger project on my web site, it does exactly
what you are after, though you could probable do everything you want
without the use of ports or even locks. You can pass the initial string
with the thread creation method, the boolean flags are set atomically
so you don't need to do anything specially to handle them unless you
thread has to wait for them to wait on them or something, and when
NSThread is about to end a NSThreadWillExitNotification notification is
sent so you can use this to know when the result is ready. There is
also a method defined in NSObject that does a simplified version of my
NDRunLoopMessenger, 'performInMainRunloop' or something like that.

I have a numerically intensive process that I wish to run as a

tell me when its done, and send me the data in the form of an NSArray.
having looked at the documentation, it would appear that I need to use
NSPorts. I've tried the solutions given, but I cannot get them to
function at all. Also, I cannot find a definition for 'protocol'
anywhere.
