Hello and good day.

Recently I've acquired and setup DJGPP for use creating some amateur control
systems to interface with a micrcontroller.  I'm very impressed by the
product overall, but one limitation is the lack of threads.  Finally I found
the product PThreads and compiled and installed it.

Where can I find documentation on this?  It comes with nothing.  My
threading tests with it are not working:  I create two threads and then join
my main thread to one of them...it then runs the joined thread until it
terminates, then it runs the second thread.  Is this package not
pre-emptive?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank-you
