+// This test shows the use of an ACE_Auto_Event as a signaling
+// mechanism. Two threads are created (one a reader, the other a
+// writer). The reader waits till the writer has completed
+// calculations. Upon waking up the reader prints the data calculated
+// by the writer. The writer thread calculates the value and signals
+// the reader when the calculation completes.
