As I'm sure you can tell, I'm fairly new at programming for the PDA with 
C++.  I have been using the .NETCF and C# in the past, but my current 
project requires the use of C++.  **pauses for flames**

How did you go about compiling the libraries?  Were you able to use a 
downloaded version of bjam to compile for VC8 + WinCE?

Since I am unfamiliar with bjam and all, my first instinct was to put the 
classes I need into projects in Visual Studio, but at second glance it 
seemed like quite an undertaking.  Then, I found the CreateThread method in 
windows.h and have been playing with it a bit.  I think it will get me 
through what I need to do with threads, for now, but I'd say I'll need a 
better implementation soon.

Thanks for your help.
