Then it seems we can use the existent pthreads lib...

I'm not that sure either. I was suggested to run mpeg2 decoding and dv
encoding. I also tried encoding with x264 to see what would happen if
pthreads-win32 and w32threads were mixed in the same process.

Btw does OS/2 even support SMP? If not, this whole threads discussion is moot...
