I'm using the egcs/b19.1 setup. I use the win95/nt threads package directly. For me that was part of the point of switching to ming so that I could start with a UNIX look but go straight to the native implementation where that made more sense. I see no reason to use UNIX wrapper functions for code I have no plans on moving back to UNIX. The Microsoft threads package is at least adequate and is in fact better than many I have used. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
