-We are pleased to announce the availability of a new release of
-Pthreads-win32, an Open Source Software implementation of the
-Threads component of the POSIX 1003.1 2001 Standard for Microsoft's
-Win32 environment. Some functions from other sections of POSIX
-1003.1 2001 are also supported including semaphores and scheduling
-functions.
-
-Some common non-portable functions are also implemented for
-additional compatibility, as are a few functions specific
-to pthreads-win32 for easier integration with Win32 applications.
-
-Pthreads-win32 is free software, distributed under the GNU Lesser
-General Public License (LGPL).

-Availability
-------------
-
-The prebuilt DLL, export libs (for both MSVC and Mingw32), and the header

-
-The source code can be found at:
-
- ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32
-
-and as individual source code files at
-
- ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32/source

-
- ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32/dll-latest

-
-
-Mailing List
-------------
-
-There is a mailing list for discussing pthreads on Win32. To join,
-send email to:
-
- pthreads-win32-subscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
-
-
-Application Development Environments
-------------------------------------
-
-See the README file for more information.
-
-MSVC:
-MSVC using SEH works. Distribute pthreadVSE.dll with your application.
-MSVC using C++ EH works. Distribute pthreadVCE.dll with your application.
-MSVC using C setjmp/longjmp works. Distribute pthreadVC.dll with your application.
-
-
-Mingw32:
-See the FAQ, Questions 6 and 10.
-
-Mingw using C++ EH works. Distribute pthreadGCE.dll with your application.
-Mingw using C setjmp/longjmp works. Distribute pthreadGC.dll with your application.
-
-
-Cygwin: (http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/)
-Developers using Cygwin will not need pthreads-win32 since it has POSIX threads
-support. Refer to its documentation for details and extent.
-
-
-UWIN:
-UWIN is a complete Unix-like environment for Windows from AT&T. Pthreads-win32
-doesn't currently support UWIN (and vice versa), but that may change in the
-future.
-
-Generally:
-For convenience, the following pre-built files are available on the FTP site
-(see Availability above):
-
- pthread.h - for POSIX 1c threads
- semaphore.h - for POSIX 1b semaphores
- sched.h - for POSIX 1b scheduling
- pthreadVCE.dll - built with MSVC++ compiler using C++ EH
- pthreadVCE.lib
- pthreadVC.dll - built with MSVC compiler using C setjmp/longjmp
- pthreadVC.lib
- pthreadVSE.dll - built with MSVC compiler using SEH
- pthreadVSE.lib
- pthreadGCE.dll - built with Mingw32 G++ 2.95.2-1
- pthreadGC.dll - built with Mingw32 GCC 2.95.2-1 using setjmp/longjmp
- libpthreadGCE.a - derived from pthreadGCE.dll
- libpthreadGC.a - derived from pthreadGC.dll
- gcc.dll - needed if distributing applications that use
- pthreadGCE.dll (but see the FAQ Q 10 for the latest
- related information)
-
-These are the only files you need in order to build POSIX threads
-applications for Win32 using either MSVC or Mingw32.
-
-See the FAQ file in the source tree for additional information.
-
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-For the authoritative reference, see the online POSIX
-standard reference at:
-
- http://www.OpenGroup.org
-
-For POSIX Thread API programming, several reference books are
-available:
-
- Programming with POSIX Threads
- David R. Butenhof
- Addison-Wesley (pub)
-
- Pthreads Programming
- By Bradford Nichols, Dick Buttlar & Jacqueline Proulx Farrell
- O'Reilly (pub)
-
-On the web: see the links at the bottom of the pthreads-win32 site:
-
- http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/
-
- Currently, there is no documentation included in the package apart
- from the copious comments in the source code.
-
-
-
-Enjoy!

+UWIN:
+UWIN is a complete Unix-like environment for Windows from AT&T. Pthreads-win32
+doesn't currently support UWIN (and vice versa), but that may change in the
+future.
+
+Generally:
+For convenience, the following pre-built files are available on the FTP site
+(see Availability above):
+
+ pthread.h - for POSIX threads
+ semaphore.h - for POSIX semaphores
+ sched.h - for POSIX scheduling
+ pthreadVCE.dll - built with MSVC++ compiler using C++ EH
+ pthreadVCE.lib
+ pthreadVC.dll - built with MSVC compiler using C setjmp/longjmp
+ pthreadVC.lib
+ pthreadVSE.dll - built with MSVC compiler using SEH
+ pthreadVSE.lib
+ pthreadGCE.dll - built with Mingw32 G++ 2.95.2-1
+ pthreadGC.dll - built with Mingw32 GCC 2.95.2-1 using setjmp/longjmp
+ libpthreadGCE.a - derived from pthreadGCE.dll
+ libpthreadGC.a - derived from pthreadGC.dll
+ gcc.dll - needed if distributing applications that use
+ pthreadGCE.dll (but see the FAQ Q 10 for the latest
+ related information)
+
+These are the only files you need in order to build POSIX threads
+applications for Win32 using either MSVC or Mingw32.
+
+See the FAQ file in the source tree for additional information.

+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+For the authoritative reference, see the online POSIX
+standard reference at:
+
+ http://www.OpenGroup.org
+
+For POSIX Thread API programming, several reference books are
+available:
+
+ Programming with POSIX Threads
+ David R. Butenhof
+ Addison-Wesley (pub)
+
+ Pthreads Programming
+ By Bradford Nichols, Dick Buttlar & Jacqueline Proulx Farrell
+ O'Reilly (pub)
+
+On the web: see the links at the bottom of the pthreads-win32 site:
+
+ http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/
+
+ Currently, there is no documentation included in the package apart
+ from the copious comments in the source code.
+
+
+
+Enjoy!
