hi Thomas,

 TM> Good advice. However, new applications should always use POSIX

[explanation snipped]
 TM> Those who wish to use the POSIX API offered by EMX may want to obtain
 TM> the book "POSIX Programmer's Guide" by Donald Lewine (ISBN
 TM> 0-937175-73-0).  It is a fairly inexpensive book, and makes a nice
 TM> programming companion for the EMX user.

Thanks for the tip.  I will look for it.

regards,
