Thanks, I see now.

Ignorant me - I haven't checked export table of kerne32.dll of my win98se.  
It seems CreateRemoteThread() really sits there:

[s2 at katleriai s2]$ winedump -x dump /mnt/wD/windows/system/kernel32.dll | grep -iC1 createremotethread
  00039518   199 CreateProcessW
  000394FD   200 CreateRemoteThread
  000075ED   201 CreateSemaphoreA

Sorry for the wind.

Learning curve mine "lags" even more ;-), and my experience is only of a
"advanced user" type.  As I have some own critical situations to handle my
hands are off this testing.

I am not anymore sure about this.  Sorry.
