  I'm writing a program that needs to output data to a file while at the
same time, new data may be comming into the Mac via an interface card.  We
would like to have the data saved upon its arrival, but we can not lose any
data when doing this.

  My question:  What is the best way to go about doing this?  I'm using
THINK C, version 4.0.2 with the TCLs.  I've already tried setting up a VBL
task which just did a SysBeep(1) and an interval of 60 ticks, but shortly
into the application, the beeping stopped.  Everything else worked fine.
Anyway, if anyone has any info regarding this topic, please let me know.

 Thanks for listening!
