The ESE is a form of time-slice multitasking more than one app within one
Eu program. If you want a faster time-slicing-threading, make your threads
into separate Eu programs, and run/kill them as needed, communicating
the global vars between them with either socks or DDE. With DDE, you are
limited to all the threads running on one windoze puter. With socks, you
can run threads on as many puters as you have, and even across
platforms, across a LAN or the internet.
I thread mirc with 3 mirc.exe's, and i use one mirc.exe with an Eu
application,, so you can even run threads across programming languages.
