 I am working on a program written in MS C 6.0 for OS/2 environment
which uses named pipes.  It is a demo profram called "npserver.c".
I am trying to add on some stuff to the program and recompile it.
But, I am not able to recompile it since it says it cannot find the 
"include" file "<mt\string.h>".  Now the person who has written the
program(unknown) has used the include statements in the foll manner:

#include<mt\string.h>
#include<mt\stdio.h>
#include<mt\process.h>

I am pretty sure that in this case 'mt' is not a sub-directory.  I 
assume it is something to do with 'multi-threading'.  The program 
contains the _beginthread, etc. kind of statements used to create 
many 'pipe instances'.  BTW, this is the server program which is 
trying to communicate with another client program.  
I tried compiling with the /MT option, but didn't work.
Also, when I tried without having the mt\ in the include statements,
I got a number of fatal errors which do not recognise the 
PIPE ACCESS commands.  Can anyone give me any information as to 
how to go about this?

Also, any good suggestions as far as material on Named Pipes goes
is welcome.  

Thanks in advance.
