Greetings all;

I was wondering if within a TTHread,
is it ok to use the winapi:
  EnterCriticalSection();
  LeaveCriticalSection();
  InitializeCriticalSection();

Calls?

I have a tthread program, which I suspect is having problems somewhere with
multiple threads running non-thread safe code.

I wanted to do something like:
EnterCriticalSection(...);
// read a file here, read from socket, close file, etc
LeaveCriticalSection();

I would imaging the synchronize uses these calls.
The problems w/synchronize you cant pass arguments, etc to sync. function.

Thanks for the help.
