it has nothing to do with tweking a compiler, you create threads in your code. if you do not create any extra threads then your program will have one thread, the primary thread. <br />
<br />
to create extra threads look at _beginthread in VC++.<br />
<br />
do a search on yahoo, there will be lots of threading examples

I guess I need to rephrase my question. &nbsp;I do know how threads are created and the functions<br />
used for this process. &nbsp;My question really has to do with what limits the number of threads<br />
a program can create if that program were allowed to create an infinite supply. &nbsp;Once this number<br />
was known, could a person then tweak a compiler's settings (maybe shrinking/enlarging<br />
a thread's stack size) to change this number. &nbsp;If so, then can someone show me what I need to do<br />
if I were using the Microsoft visual.net compiler.

Threads - influencing the number that may be created

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
