  No it isn't.

  Look a little harder, and you'll find that _hread is a kludge for the
  benefit of poor Windows 16:16 programmers, since _lread cannot cross
  segment boundaries.

  Since _hread isn't necessary for 0:32 programming on Windows, I have no
  idea why you are even bothering with it.

  I'll repeat what I said in my last message :

  If Windows programmers were to start asking porting questions, then they
  would obviously be asking them about the *OS/2* API, and we *still*
  wouldn't be burdened with all of this 16:16 crap.

  I hate 16:16 crap.  Can you tell ?
