PC> How do I kill a thread that was started with _beginthread()?

Ask it to commit suicide.   This is the only good answer.

This is not the only answer (if DosKillThread is not working,  it is not
because you used _beginthread,  but some other reason).


 PC> DosKillThread(tid) does't seem to work, so I'm 
 PC> assuming DosSuspendThread and

DosKillThread() and DosSuspendThread() (along with DosEnterCritSec()) are
some of the worst API's put in to OS/2 --- and even the guys who put them
there will tell you not to use them.

If you explain where you want to use them,  i'm sure someone will tell you
the more friendly way to accomplish the same thing.
