Aren't you really asking about thread and process syncronization? This is an issue regardless of whether the system is SMP. I've also only dealt with the NT implementations of critical sections and mutexes, and unlike the rest of the win32 API, it seems they did a fairly good job of it (although there are some additional scheduling controls I wish were provided). >----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Michael L.
