Subject: Need threads for terminal emulator?
From: tim at fungible.com (Tim Freeman)


I'm wanting to write something like a terminal emulator in OCAML with
lablgtk.  I had intended initially to keep the application
single-threaded since the bulk of the code is not concerned with
interacting with the subprocess, but I don't see a way to do a select
with lablgtk that will return when either there's input available from
the subprocess or input available from the window system.

Should I give up on using selects and just write a multi-threaded
program, or did I miss some feature in lablgtk that would let me do
this with only one thread?
