🚀 go-pugleaf

Well, this time I followed the example using a TThread object and the sample
works. I can use this model to create my small service so problem is resolved
BUT

I'd still like to know why the first way didn't work - if anyone has any
suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing them

Thanx again,

Vic Baron
