    Portability for Windows

    Hi everyone! I must use a specific thread function for my application. Unfortunatelly msn documentation says that this function does not work for windows9x. I cannot test it myself because I use XP.
    The msn says:
    Requirements
    Client: Requires Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows NT Workstation 3.5 and later.
    Server: Requires Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows NT Server 3.5 and later.
    Header: Declared in Winbase.h; include Windows.h.
    Library: Use Kernel32.lib.


    My question is if I have any chance that the function GetThreadTimes will work on Windows9x.
    Thanks any help.
    Nothing more to tell about me...
    Happy day =)

    Supposedly, that's an undocumented function available in kernel32.DLL in Win95 - but no 95 box to try it out.

    If you just want to know start and exit times, that should be easy enough to do by hand.

    Why you would even want to support 95 is another question

    I was thinking and I will do by hand anyway, it is easier. I am developping an application to a militar headquarter, and they do not want to spent money on good machines (one that could support XP) or OS. =P

    Thank you!
