What exactly do you require the programmer to do?
I might be interested & have a few weeks off now
I have msvc6sp3 & the msdn lib
but I am not extremely skilled ;-/
& only have a single cpu
The msdn lib will help me when it comes to thread functions etc.
How many people actually run win32 with multiple cpus
