hello, please, excuse me if you find this posting inappropriate to this group. I was not able to decide to which newsgroup should I send this. Anyway, I would appreciate if anyone out there can tell me the dutch words for WAIT & SIGNAL that start with P & V respectively. I am trying to answer this question posed by my Prof. in an Operating System course. Please, Serious answers only!!!! my E-MAIL ADDRESS: sureshk@hubcap.clemson.edu Thanking all of you who will respond. Have a good day.

This is with reference to SureshK's question on semaphores.
P is short for pakken (seize).
V is short for vrygeven (release).
The y in vrygeven should have two-dots (an umlaut ?) above it.
Sanjay
