subject: _beginthread() versus DosCreateThread()

Hallo,

I have a very serious problem... In the redbook of os/2 v2.0 there is
the following text:

``The _beginthread() function provided by the C compiler should be used
to create secondary threads that will contain object windows or that
contain code which calls C run-time library functions. This function
maintains certain internal C library control data that is, by default,
not maintained by the DosCreateThread() function.''

Easy... but how about the following text:

``The DosCreateThread() function provided by OS/2 may be used to create
secondary threads that will not contain object windows and that do not
call C run-time library functions.''

I understand the part of the object windows, but what do they mean with
the ``C run-time library functions?''

...None of you exist, my sysop types all this in.
