[comp.os.os2.programmer] Zortech C++

When will the Zortech compiler have reentrant libraries?  The
version we have, with library source, does not have this, and
it's a bit of work to add it.  We're putting up with MS C 6.0
and Codeview.  Does the Zortech debugger provide any advantage
over Codeview?  Can it debug multiple threads, suspending
threads as necessary for debugging?
 
Personally, I think that Microsoft/IBM should supply a large
model C library as a DDL with the OS, since most applications
are written in C and this will promote code sharing.

I spoke with the Zortech folks about this at the Software Development
'91 conference a couple months ago.  They ackowledged the problem,
and thought that making all the libraries re-entrant was a good
thing to do, but given the market for OS/2 products it was not
high on their priority list.
