If by "native threading" you mean bare Win32 API functions, I'd rather use the multithread version of the Microsoft C Run Time library. First of all, 'cause we have already been linking against it, and the second, it provides a proper initialization for threads, and the third, it's been supporting by Microsoft, not by a single man. Well, I surmise that the pthreads lib either uses native threading, the main difference beetween CRT and pthreads being that the later just is a new wheel conforming the POSIX standard Hope the pthreads library won't turn out a way to go for Parrot. 0x4C56
