I'm probably going to show my complete ignorance here so please feel
free to correct me. I'm not a regular Windows application developer
and am really guessing here, but, does __declspec(dllexport) do the
same job as the .def file? If so, Maureen, did you build the library
with the /def:pthread.def option?

To build the dll and lib files I use the buildlib.bat file included
with the source code. The /Zi debugging info option is already
included when I build the library for upload but I've never used the
debugger so can't say that it should work. The reason I haven't used
it is because I build the library over a text-only telnet connection
to a remote NT box.

I suspect this is not very helpful, so if someone else can provide
some clarity please do.
