[comp.lang.smalltalk] Not compute-bound?

new@udel.EDU (Darren New) (07/05/90)

Does anybody have a plug-and-play goodie for keeping ParcPlace Smalltalk
VI2.5 from staying compute-bound while waiting for input?  I remember
one goodie that would wait for a signal when the polling loop had been
called 1000 times without change, but it was based on a user primitive
that I suspect would not work under VI2.5.  Does anybody have
such a thing for the latest ParcPlace, or can you direct me to the
version for the old Smalltalk?     -- Darren
