Hello OS/2 people,
	I'm trying to write a queue handler that incorperates the timeout
feature available with semaphores i.e. DosSemWait(semaphore,timeout(ms))
	I'm habving trouble getting DosReadQueue to suspend for a finite
duration . Im using DosStartTimer and DosStopTimer and supplying the same
semaphore as that used by the DosReadQueue function (in the hope that
the Timer will signal on behalf of the DosReadQueue function). But it ain't
working..
	Has anybody had experience with this, or can suggest a method for
doing it using the API calls?               

Thanks
	Lindsay Meek (meek@fizzy.csu.murdoch.edu.au)
