I'm writing a simulation that has a main loop that must be executed
with preference over the event loop. (Can't hang around and wait for events),
But I also want a robust handling of user generated events.  How can I
(on a unix machine) run the simulation loop and the event loop in parallel?

Thanks in Advance,
Dean
