I always thought Nathan was working with gcc. And I'm *sure* Physmud++ is
threaded - isn't it?
Any comments on the above? I would really like to start with threads,
rather than decide to rewrite nearly everything at a later date; but
would it be more hassle than it's worth?
Those who have a threaded server, what OS/dev tools are you using? Is
Linux currently the wrong choice for anything serious in this area?
