Channel-based programming has been called "the revenge of the goto", as in, "Where the hell does this channel go to?" Programmers must manage conversational continuity manually (i.e. keep track of the origins of messages, so that they can be replied to). It also doesn't really help with the sharing problem that started this thread: if you want a shared integer, you have to write a little server thread that knows how to act like a semaphore, and then it read/write requests that are exactly equivalent to P and V operations (and subject to all the same abuses). Oh, and did I mention the joys of trying to draw a semi-accurate diagram of the plumbing in your program after three months of upgrade work? *shudder* Greg
