Hi there,

It seems I did not make myself clear enough.
The version on the trunk is of course not a final one !
We are taking into account your pre requirements (bug 2514 and 2640) and 
of course your previous mail.

It seems you kindly propose to test the first improvements, or I may 
misunderstood...
Did you ever take some time to try our *"wonderful solution"* or did you 
give up ???

For the time being I'm working on some issues that came out doing some 
wonderful "while %t"
in scipad and launching it into Scilab.
I will also add some lock across Scilab "shared memory" (our beloved stack).

To crowed it all :
- If you were waiting my "go" to play with the solution, you can do it
- For what concerns the *"wonderful solution"*, I apologize not being a 
wizard and go ahead
working on those threads and wait you test my first step.
- Each time I will make a step further to the "final solution" I'll post 
on this ML exactly as I did last time.

Have a nice day.
