Yes... I am using semaphores, which is going to be the next issue.
In MSVC, I used the CSemaphore and CSingleLock objects.  Once I
sort out this thread issue, I'll tackle the semaphores.  Hopefully
that will complete the port. :-)  I'm *hoping* that the code that
compiles under CygWin will also compile cleanly under Linux/GCC.

I'll try the pthread stuff you mentioned before.  Unfortunately, I
won't have much time this week, so I'll just plan on some more
headaches next weekend.  Thanks for the help. :-))
