C++ Windows VS 6+ Multi-Threading Tutorial?

Greetings Cprogramming community,

I've been looking around the net for a few tutorials on multi-threading in C++ in windows using Visual C++ 6.0 or above compilers.

I've managed to find one decent tutorial here:
http://www.codeproject.com/threads/S...asp#xx638994xx

I was just wondering if anyone knows of a couple good free internet resources that explain multi-threading without using the select() function and instead use mutexes or something similar?

I'm looking for a good tutorial that isn't cryptic to the point of me ripping my hair out and tossing my laptop through the wall or worse. Just something that is straight forward, descriptive, and yet to the point without all the confusing extras.

I appriciate the help, thanks a bundle!

They are few and far between...

Here is a basic tutorial in multithreading in Windows: http://www.adrianxw.dk/SoftwareSite/.../Threads1.html

And there's MSDN:
Multithreading for Rookies
Synchronization

My really basic threading tutorial is Windows based. Sadly, my big MT tutorial is not converted yet.
