Thanks. I have done this and it is working. It is not the ideal solution
though....BeginThread expects a 'register' function as the thread
function, while the library provides a 'cdecl' function. This means I
had to wrap the C thread function into another function call. So there
are now quite a bit of layering happening on top of the original thread
function. I think it would be good if BeginThread can accept both
register functions and cdecl functions.
And then I hope the library author accept my changes.
