Thread synchornization on event notification. A target thread waits on a resetable Event, and one or more other threads can then signal the waiting thread to resume execution. A timeout can be used to specify a wait duration in milliseconds. The Event class must be reset before it can be used again as a trigger. These event objects use a trigger/reset mechanism and are related to low level conditional variables. @author: David Sugar <dyfet@ostel.com> Constructor & Destructor Documentation Event::Event ( ) Event::~Event ( ) [inline] Member Function Documentation void Event::Reset ( void ) [inline]   Once signaled, the Event class must be "reset" before responding to a new signal.
