The Linux kernel has had thread support since early 1996. That's something like 2.5 years before HL was released. User-space thread libraries (of which there have been several) predate even that. Damn. Makes me realize how old the HL engine really is. Well, 7 years old and still going strong. And NS is still _the_ best FPS, mod or otherwise, ever. -John Sheu _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
