TThread class.
According to the documentation at

CloseThread must be called on any thread started with
I get your point about Windows + CloseHandle
But I'm still confused with regards to every other platform. You say yes,
affirming the documentation ... that CloseThread must be called ... nowhere
in any of the platform code I've search is CloseThread used, ever. (even

If you want split hairs:
It is ok for tthread, since as in tree code it can legally use
Okay, thanks for the replies. I'll stick with what I have know, which is to
use BeginThread, EndThread, CloseThread.

Thanks for so much Sven. I have another question.
