Thank you for writing of your experience with RSXNT.
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 ?
