hmm ...have you searched the pthreads site to see if there
are some 'pointers' (no pun intended) to some C++ wrapper
funtions? It is possible that someone has started work on a C++
interface to the pthreads library, just like there are C++
wrappers to GTK+ (gtk--). ????

have you tried emailing someone listed on the pthreads web
site to see if they can give you some more info on this?
