BD> > I have tried calling DOSCreateThread with a variable to hold the TID and > function which brings in a word value and returns PFnThread. BD> No. The function does not return PFNTHREAD. The argument to DosCreateThread is a pointer to a thread function. If you look at the type PFNTHREAD you will find that it indicates (or should indicate -- I don't know about the correctness of the VP headers, since I don't use Pascal) a pointer to function that takes a single 32-bit parameter and returns nothing. Incidentally, there may be Pascal runtime considerations that preclude calling DosCreateThread directly. In C++, the C++ runtime has to be called (i.e. _beginthread) when creating a thread in order that per-thread structures are properly managed within the runtime. The Pascal runtime may require the same. In which case, look to your Pascal library documentation on how to create threads. > JdeBP < ___ X MegaMail 2.10 #0: --- Maximus/2 3.01* Origin: DoNoR/2,Woking UK (44-1483-725167) (2:440/4) SEEN-BY: 50/99 270/101 620/243 711/401 409 410 413 430 808 809 934 955 SEEN-BY: 712/407 515 517 628 713/888 800/1 7877/2809 @PATH: 440/4 141/209 270/101 712/515 711/808 809 934 |
