EG>I have a very serious problem... In the redbook of os/2 v2.0 there is

EG>Easy... but how about the following text:

EG>``The DosCreateThread() function provided by OS/2 may be used to create
EG>secondary threads that will not contain object windows and that do not

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

The first one says that you need to use C's beginthread function because
it initializes the C runtime library.  The second one says that you can
use OS/2's beginthread function as long as you don't use the C runtime
library in that thread.  Those are the two sides of the same statement
to me.
