Re: fork ???

[Magnus Wirström <asd mail bip net>]

I have looked into threads and it seems easy to do and seems portable, Is fork()
better in some way or is it a good idea to use threads ? Hmmm ... anyone that
knows benefits of  fork() or threads ? If I create a thread does it let my app to
continue it's main ? or is it waiting on it to finnish ... If I understand
threads right it should start a process that lives for itself until it exits, Am
I missing the point or did I understand threads correctly ?
