PRB: Program Crashes If Run on a Machine Without an 80x87

ID Number: Q66578

6.00 6.00a

OS/2

Summary:

Problems that occur when using the multithreaded run-time libraries on

a machine without a coprocessor are probably caused by not using

_beginthread to start the threads that perform the floating-point

calculations.

More Information:

If you use DosCreateThread to start the threads, the

required initialization code is not performed in the run-time for that

thread; this code is mandatory because 80x87 emulation is performed in

the run-time in cases where there is no coprocessor.
