From the problem described, I'd expect the 'clock' to notify the others to change state, which would include telling the cannon that a 'fire' order is queued or to tell the projectile to add another set of force vectors. I'd also expect the 'cannon' and 'projectile' to both send their messages to a 'console_display'. -- Gary Murphy decvax!utzoo!dciem!nrcaer!cognos!garym (garym%cognos.uucp@uunet.uu.net) (613) 738-1338 x5537 Cognos Inc.
