I doubt you could teach me _anything_ about C.  However, I could teach you a
_lot_
about using the correct Makefile options.  You are doing something that I don't
follow.
"Lock" is a macro.  It is not a function.  It would seem that you don't have
lock.h or
else you are not using the correct Makefile (makefile.nt) to include the lock.h
file
and get rid of those Lock references.

All I can suggest is that you ask someone familiar with MSVC to help you out
as you obviously need it.

I suppose that "ferkin idiot Nalimov" can't write anything decent.  However, I
would
sooner trust one million lines of _his_ code than ten lines of yours.  I don't
see why you
have to continue to insult everyone, _particularly_ someone that _everybody_
here can
see knows _far_ more about programming than you.  Eugene's code works _pefectly_
on windows, linux, solaris, aix, irix, macos, true64,  in fact, rather than
enumerate the
systems it does work on, I'll enumerate the systems it fails on:  "Any system
owned and
operated by you."

You might consider _why_ that is...

I have a pretty good idea myself.
