Getting them started is easy, the biggest problem I've had is not allocating
enough stack space, you'll get a SYSxxxx error telling you if you run out,
just increase it if needed.  That's the third arg to _beginthread().

Here's an example of how I am doing it.

#define INCL_BASE
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

VOID    Thread1    (void);

ULONG   Global_Done;

void main(INT ArgCount, CHAR **ArgVars)
{
  int     Thd1_Tid;
  ULONG   i         =   0;

  Global_Done = 0;

  Thd1_Tid = _beginthread( (void *)Thread1, NULL, 16384, NULL );

  while( !Global_Done ) {
    printf( "\nPress \'Q\' to quit [%ld]\n", i++ );
    if( toupper( getch() ) == 'Q' )
      Global_Done = 1;
    DosSleep(10);
  }
}

VOID    Thread1()
{
  ULONG   i = 0;

  printf("\n");
  while( !Global_Done ) {
    printf( "\rThread1 [%ld]", i++ );
    DosSleep(5);
  }
  _endthread();
}
