It's an early beta/demo of a library I am working on to allow communication and synchronisation between threads. Semaphores works, more planned. Anyone willing to help is appreciated.
Get it from my site:

Or the resources site (soon):

yes please!

Cheers tinman, I'll probably be able to put it to some good use in the next few days. I'll let you know how I get on.

I'm not sure I get it ... it's a windows-specific library? ... well, what's the point? I mean, you've already got access to the API functions, so..?
Unless of course you plan to port it to Linux? that would rock :)

Why use PB`s OpenWindow command when you`ve got the API function CreateWindowEx_, why use the built in networking code when you have access to the Winsock commands etc etc...
Simple answer... Cos PB is a Basic language, and user libs such as Tinman`s ThreadLib make life a lot easier by wrapping a load of API stuff into a simple keyword..
Rant over, nice work David.

I would but I don't have:
a) Linux running on my machine yet
b) Development experience in Linux
Obviously I would like to be able to do a Linux version, but it will either take some time or will need to be done by someone else. But I agree for the most part that single OS user libs are a bit pointless.

Not for users that use that single OS
Excellent work tin!
