If I actually knew what I was doing I'd give it a try...problem is that I
wouldn't wish my threaded code on anyone right now...using exensively
doesn't mean using well in this case :-). But I think you got the
idea...pthreads IS cross platform between *nix, and the idea behind the
win32 port was to bring this to WinXX. The folks at Elvin
(http://elvin.dstc.edu.au/) use it as a cross platform threaded API. You
might want to throw a quesiton out on their development list to get their
thoughts...

Hummm....I did try all the examples, specifically testCategory.cpp for this
case, and it didn't seem to do what I expected. Is what you said true if the
parent is root? I will give it another go, and I'll send an example if it
seems to be doing something different...
