Wouldn't it b e better to first implement an independent cross-platform 
event loop ("Application!" thingy) in the RTL that can be used by 
TTimer, TThread.Synchronize _and_ lNet ?!?!?

As said the eventer (sh)could be separated from lNet in that moment to 
create a behavior like Lazarus provides. Supposedly care must be taken 
not top break Lazarus when doing this.


> Can't find at the moment where TTimer is declared and implemented.
I seem to remember that I once found it after a long search, but I don't 
remember right now.

Please keep us posted.

BTW.: will/does lNet provide access to sockets etc in a platform 
independent way ?
