    While I realize this is not an RCE issue. It is related to the subject matter. Current module in progress; I have stopped the Main Thread in the debug target, retreived the thread context, and whoa wait a second.

    The freakin context structure contains the context of the APLPHA processor, not x86. All the members of the context structure are of the ALPHA processor type. I've checked WINNT.h and supposedly if I #define _X86_ then I get the context of the x86 processor. Wrong! So am I missing something obvious? It's possible, but if that's the case have your laugh and my thanks for posting a response.

     Using VC++ version 6.0 pro.

    AS A SIDE NOTE: I talked(actually irc) with many in c/c++ channels. I was surprised at the lack of advanced or even intermmediate programming skills. Some forums were even lacking in advanced skillsets. Hence, my reason for posting here.
