Microsoft OS/2 SDK PM 08-08-1988

This directory contains five different programs illustrating the problem
and solution to the misbehaved PM application problem.	Refer to the
article "Utilizing OS/2 Multithread Techniques in Presentation Manager
Applications" by Charles Petzold in MS Systems Journal March 1988.

There are five different apps, namely:

    MISBEHAV	-- the misbehaved "BIGJOB1" which locks input away
    TIMER	-- "BIGJOB2," the "use a timer to check the queue" method
    PEEK	-- "BIGJOB3," which peeks at the message queue (Windows sol'n)
    THREAD2	-- "BIGJOB4," which creates a second thread to do some work 
    OBJECT	-- "BIGJOB5," which creates a second message queue for the
		   new thread to work with.

Have fun.
