I would assume that the program was originally developed using a C Cmpiler 
that was not well suited to multi-threaded stuff, and had seperate include
files for the multi-threaded system calls.

With C 6.0, you should be able to just use the standard "<string.h>" instead
of "<mt/string.h>".  You would want to use the /MT option, and I know that 
pwb defines _MT when I compile my programs multi-threaded.   (-MT -D_MT)

   I am trying to add on some stuff to the program and recompile it.
   But, I am not able to recompile it since it says it cannot find the 
   "include" file "<mt\string.h>".  Now the person who has written the
   program(unknown) has used the include statements in the foll manner:

   #include<mt\string.h>
   #include<mt\stdio.h>
   #include<mt\process.h>

   [...]

The program could have been written for an older version of MS C or
the IBM C/2 compiler. At least the latter has a directory called MT
under the INDLUDE directory. This contains headerfiles matching the
special MT (multitasking) library supplied with that compiler. Now,
MS C 6.00 has, I believe, all reentrant library functions, and so
doesn't need a separate library with separate headerfiles.

   Thanks in advance.

Last I knew, you could get all the definitions you need by defining
the appropriate constants before including os2.h; e.g., to get
basic OS definitions (including named pipe stuff), do:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

#define	INCL_BASE
#include <os2.h>

My program, 'timex', contains a server and client that communicate via
named pipe.  The server implements a cron-like function, and the
client provides a PM interface to it.  The program was written
specifically as an example -- a working one, mind you -- of various
OS/2 facilities.  Available on request.
