im not sure how to use this properly any one got some advice?
im not sure how to get it working so that begin actually starts the thread, which should increment mData then output it then end.
the cThread class is originally from FlipCode so it should work i just dont knwo hwo to get it working.

you are declaring an object reference and allocation new memory to it, but the object reference is of an object that doesn''t exist as far as that code is concerned
