You're welcome!  My memory of it is that it was an add-on or 
extension to the C++ compiler which enable concurrency.  I 
learned it a long time ago...long before there was Boost, 
etc.  I'm not sure if any of it found its way into any 
recent version of C++.  Called uC++, I thought it was an 
interesting learning tool.

(IMHO) it's one thing to use standard C to simulate 
semaphores, etc....but it's something else to have it as "a 
part of" the language and then you use it directly to learn 
about it.

My memory of it is a bit vague (it was a long time ago...I 
won't say how long :-P ), but it was very positive.  I 
enjoyed it.

Good luck with this and your search for an internship.  It's 
a tough year everywhere...
