all of the above .

You didn't post any source but here's a little sample:

#include 
#include 

#define INCL_DOSPROCESS
#include 

extern "C"
   void Thread2(void*);

void Thread2(void*)
{
   cout << "Thread 2 started" << endl;

   DosSleep(10000);

   cout << "Thread 2 ending" << endl;
}

int main()
{
   APIRET rc = 0;
   TID threadId = _beginthread(Thread2, 0, 4096, 0);

   if (!threadId)
   {
      cerr << "_beginThread() failed" << endl;
      return 1;
   }

   rc = DosWaitThread(&threadId, DCWW_WAIT);
   if (rc)
      cerr << "DosWaitThread returned " << rc << endl;

   cout << "Ending..." << endl;

   return 0;
}

They shouldn't make any difference but FYI those are a bit
"dated" .
