Does anybody know where i can find some good online resources about Windows threads? I''ve found quite a few good ones for the *nix world but nothing really for Windows. Tutorials, API sets, anything like that would help out a lot. Thanks

There is a bunch of info at msdn.microsoft.com. Look up CreateThread() and you will be on your way.

Jeffrey Richter''s "Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows" has a pretty good explanation of Win32 threads and synch objects, including a section on why you probably want to use _beginthreadex instead of CreateThread.
