Ever heard about strstr(), strcpy(), strdup()...?
Whenever your module has an include of C-Library headers, you're probably
using C-library functions. The OS/2 API include  doesn't
count, it's not a C library function.

You should look up the C/C++ Reference or Guide there is a nice explanation
when and why to use _beginthread(). As a rule of thumb: You should use the
_beginthread() function whenever you write C code, except when writing
Device Drivers.
