Detailed Description

Abstract thread function declaration.

This is a simple, really cross-platform thread class with support for

• Linux
• Win32
• WinCE

It doesn't do much, just offer methods to start a native thread (no cancellation !) and some synchronization. Why has it been written when there are so many other thread toolkits out there with a lot of functionality (e.g. the very nice ZThreads package) ? Because none of them was able to get a thread running in Linux, Win32 _and_ WinCE without major porting efforts (major >= 2 days). In short, this class grew out of frustration !
