Re: pthreads on Win2k


On the face of it, this seems like a bad idea--why would you want to do
such a thing?  This isn't derision, I'm just curious.

On the original subject, I've also been using pthreads on win2k for ~8
months now and haven't had any problems.  I've only used it on single
processor machines.
