Thanks Nathan. Clearly NPTL tries to be POSIX compliant but I guess that it is not fully compliant so I would like to see in what way.
Annoyingly enough, after installing NPTL, the man pages of the pthread calls were deleted from my system. I'm not sure which document you are talking about, please do send me the document. What is a good place to read about POSIX threads? I'd prefer a free source but appreciate a pointer to any good source. Yuval Scharf On Mon, 1 Dec 2003, Van Eps, Nathan D.
