Sebastian, At the risk of preempting the acceptance of HARMONY-14... take a look at the thread library that is in there, and described in the doxygen pages that you will find in "Harmony/doc/vm_doc/html/group__Thread.html". That contains a bunch of threading calls that should be of use to the bootJVM port, and there is an impl for the MSVC compiler on Windows. >>>bye, >>>Sebastian >>> >>> >> >>Enrico >> >> > > -- Tim Ellison ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) IBM Java technology centre, UK.
