For building multithreading applications - which is an essencial part
even of Windows OSes - you have different choices to achieve this.
First, you can use the OS threading API (see here for API CreateThread
& co). Secondly, you can use the threading model provided by C-runtime
(msvcrt) via _beginthread & co.
If you prefer to use a POSIX thread emulation, you can use the pthread
library (we provide some patches for it, so that built isn't that
difficult, additionally in sezero's private built, this library is
already provided as pre-built DLL IIRC). Also there is the possiblilty
to use the OpenMP library (or gomp) for building multithreaded
application.
But as you are a beginner in multithreading under Windows, I would
recomment to start by the Native OS-API, C-runtime API, or by the
pthread library.

Kai
