Hello. 

I am new to thread programming: in particular Java threads.  I am reading
through Java Threads by Scott Oaks and Henry Wong.
        ------------

My goal is to have code in my Java program that waits till another program
generates a certain data file which is placed in a UNIX directory.  My
program then needs to read data from this file, manipulate it, then
write it out so another program can access it.

I believe this is an application for thread programming, or maybe someone 
can tell me of a simpler approach.  

Someone please point me in the right direction a provide a URL for Java 
threads manipulation of UNIX files.

Thank you.
