That's one of the reasons that led me to suggest CFRunLoopRunInMode(); in fact, as it has been used, the call to CFRunLoopStop() could even be removed from AndygDiskArbCallback(). (unless, of course, I'm terribly wrong; as I already noticed, I'm not a guru...) Ahh... Not sure what your goal was, but CFRunLoopRunInMode basically means "Only process events that are in the following set (mode)". Everything else will be queued, which could obviously cause hickups, etc. Now, of course, if your already in your own thread it's a non- issue. The main thread has it's own runloop which will happily continue on it's own. Generally speaking, I don't think CFRunLoopRunInMode is something for "normal" use. It's primary purpose is for things like creating old fashioned modal dialogs and the like. If your calling it directly you are either doing something sneaky and clever, or your using it wrong. One of those is a lot more common than the other ;-) _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
