If it doesn't work for _you_, let me know.

IEEE P1003.1c, D10 September 1994 DS5314 is the draft amendment which still has not been published. For online docs (equivalent to man files), try www.mit.edu:8001/people/proven/pthreads.html (I think) I haven't looked for books on how to use pthreads. I'm from an OSF/1 environment where we used DEC's poor examples as a start. Their bookreader docs aren't too bad at describing the functions, but they are not good at describing how to design a threaded application. > > Thanks a bunch, > -- > Bob Willcox > bob@luke.pmr.com > Austin, TX > Regards, -- John Birrell CIMlogic Pty Ltd jb@cimlogic.com.au 119 Cecil Street Ph +61 3 9690 6900 South Melbourne Vic 3205 Fax +61 3 9690 6650 Australia Mob +61 18 353 137
