I agree with you, that it is very convenient, if you have a development-environment - like cygwin32 offers - where you can act just like in a unix-environment. But my Problem is, that threads are very important for the purpose of my Programs - so I need threadsave libaries. Does anybody know, when cygwin32 is going to have threadsave libaries ? -- Greetings, Bernd - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
