I am sorry I wrote in my last email a mistake I should write: that we
call pfInit at first and after this we build the shared arena.

We use the the pfBuffer sceme. I wanted to explain that with exchangedb
the database receive some information like:
-delete a tiles of the terrain
-build a new tiles of the terrain (a very important information is the
path and the name of the new tile)
-and replace a tiles of the terrain (same comments)
With this class give a feed back to the application process: it could be
possible that a replaced tiles is at the end of the load not more
necessary and that the application wait another tiles as the new ones.
I hope that it is more clear, I am so sorry for the misunderstanding.
In all case thanks a lot Mario.
Guillaume.
