I've not had a really good look at the docs yet, but there doesn't appear to be a Critical Section class. Should I be using the Mutex for synchronisation instead?

How do you think mutex and CS differ? From what I understand they perform the same purpose. Win32 CS's are recursive lockable, I believe that is an option or an ability of the boost mutex as well. I wouldn't be surprised if it was implemented as CS's in Win32. As for the "is running" query, I'm not sure. I have to admit I don't use boost threads (I have my own wrapper I made before I learned of boost), but I'm trying to help answering the simple question when I can ;). Jason
