Hi All,
	I've been looking to Thread libraries for MSDOS C Compilers. In 
my use of ADA 95, I've noticed that ada has tasking (which works very 
well I might add). Since GNAT using gcc, does that mean someone has 
ported POSIX threads into msdos C so that gcc and ada 95 comvert tasking 
into C thread calls??

In short. I'm after MSDOS C Threads and it looks like ADA 95 has them.

Can anyone shead some light on this??

Regards..

The pthreads port to MSDOS works only in a DJGPP (Unix on DOS)
environment. The FSU port of pthreads used in GNAT assumes a Unix host.
