Hello..


A portable and efficient implementation of a future in Delphi and 
FreePascal version 1.0

Author: Amine Moulay Ramdane.

Description:

A "future" is an object that promises to provide a value sometime in the 
future. The value is computed in a background thread. When the 
application needs the value, it requests the value from the future--if 
the future isn't done, the application waits until the value is ready.

All the synchronization issues are hidden from the application.

Use the TFuture class by deriving a new class that overrides
the Compute method.

I have provided you with a demo inside the zip file, please look at it 
inside testfuture.pas file.
