Ignore the Amazon reviews and buy DB's book. Start with his examples and work your way along from there. > I would like to make some programs that use the pthreads functions > but what do I need to get started? Assuming PC hardware, either Linux with the development tools installed (gcc/glibc, etc.), or Windows with Cygwin, or Windows with any of the compilers supported with pthreads-win32. For the Mac, gcc and Mac OS X. There is also an increasing amount of open source software using pthreads, some of it well written, some of it scary. Finally, hang out in newsgroups like this one, read a lot, post a little, absorb as much as possible. -- Randy Howard (2reply remove FOOBAR) "Making it hard to do stupid things often makes it hard to do smart ones too." -- Andrew Koenig .
