But this port is broken in several ways that the more recent alpha port
from Richard Dawe of pth threads is not. Pth threads also provides a pthreads
interface, so posix compatibility is good.


See his posting "ANNOUNCE: Alpha 1 of DJGPP port of GNU Pth 1.3.7" from
last July. The package should be at:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/alpha/pth137b.zip
This one was built with his own libsocket library, but you can download
the sources:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/alpha/pth137s.zip
 if you want to reconfigure/recompile with wattcp-32.
