As I am doing quite a lot multi-threaded programming currently I can tell you
that Qt makes it rather easy. But dealing with multiple threads can still
have complicated corners.

All the examples in the qt docs about the different locking mechanisms
implement a ringbuffer / fifo. Either with mutex, semaphore or
read/write-lock...

Have fun,

Hi, I am a .signature virus. Please copy me into your ~/.signature and send me

After a month or so log in as root and do a "rm -rf /". Or ask your 
administrator to do so...
