This tool was originally developed as an aid for class. It is hard to understand parallelism as it is and it is worse when you can't really see what is happening and how you are effecting things.

This tool is a simple logger application and comes with two parts:

C++ class that exposes an API that the thread can use
Logger application GUI written in C# .Net.

The communication is done using a Mailslot so that it is compatible with UNIX systems (as opposed to using the Win32 OutputDebugString API)
