http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/ "GNU Pth - The GNU Portable Threads" " Pth is a very portable POSIX/ANSI-C based library for Unix platforms which provides non-preemptive priority-based scheduling for multiple threads of execution (aka ``multithreading'') inside event-driven applications. All threads run in the same address space of the server application, but each thread has it's own individual program-counter, run-time stack, signal mask and errno variable. " Also, see GNU Modula-2 (which AFAIK doesn't have a DJGPP binary, sadly): http://www.nongnu.org/gm2/gm2-libs-isopth.html > fsu pthreads, nice stable implmentation I hear, it's at > http://moss.csc.ncsu.edu/~mueller/pthreads/ and is from the Army. > did I say this already?

(But I don't know if that was ever properly supported under DJGPP. Looks like no.) It too is cooperative only, AFAIK. This was first used for FreeDOS in recent years in Khusraw's p7zip 9.13 since he cleaned it up and got it working again. (Thus instead of GNU pth + Watt-32, you only need FSU.) http://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/file/7zip/9.20.1/FSUPthreads314DJ.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
