  I am using VC 6 for this project. I have a DLL that is called from multiple threads. I am creating output from the DLL using ofstream. Everything works except I am getting output intermingled with other output, obviously due to the multiple threads.

• Visual Basic Do you use Keyword "Me"?

  Keyword "Me" is convenient because VS 's intellisense automatically shows you what members the class of "Me" has.
