In Peter Norton's book "Programmer's Guide to OS/2" (or something!) he describes a horses.c program where each of the horses are handled by a different OS/2 thread, thus they run concurrently. I compiled this under MSC 6.0, and it keeps giving me 'Segment Violation' when viewed under CodeViewP, and Protection Exception if I just run it. I tracked the problem down to the line where we have to pass a parameter to the function, horses which draws and moves a horse. the horse's # is passed as a parameter like this. /* create a stack for thread, point to the end of it */ stackptr = (char far *) malloc(STACK_SIZE) + STACK_SIZE; *--stackptr = horse_number; then we call the function which takes: void horses(unsigned horseID) OS/2 signals the error at the line where we assign the horse_number to the top of the stack. Any ideas? Thanks, -turgut
