And that's the end of another tutorial. This one is probably the most complicated so far because I've introduced or expanded upon a number of different concepts. Namely: state machines, reference counting and task chaining. I hope I didn't complicate things to the point where the lesson got lost in the noise. As always, feel free to drop a note to the ACE-Users mailing list if you feel that some of this could use a little more explaination.
