I cvsuped the world on december 3, which worked fine except for the emacs/ld bug. I'd just try the most recent SNAP after that date. --- > 3. I want to write multithreadted programs with the SMP Kernel. Is there > programing environment for multithreadted programing in C or C++? We have libc_r (a substitute for libc) for PTHREADS. But be aware there is no kernel threading (yet) so you won't get increased performance by writting a program as threaded, since it will all run in one process. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
