+<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">POSIX defines a single contiguous range
+of numbers that determine a thread's priority. Win32 defines priority
+classes - and priority levels relative to these classes. Classes are
+simply priority base levels that the defined priority levels are
+relative to such that, changing a process's priority class will
+change the priority of all of it's threads, while the threads retain
+the same relativity to each other.</P>
+<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">A Win32 system defines a single
+contiguous monotonic range of values that define system priority
+levels, just like POSIX. However, Win32 restricts individual threads
+to a subset of this range on a per-process basis.</P>
+<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">The following table shows the base
+priority levels for combinations of priority class and priority value
+in Win32.</P>

+<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">Windows NT: Values -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, 3,
+4, 5, and 6 are not supported.</P>
+<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">As you can see, the real priority levels
+available to any individual Win32 thread are non-contiguous.</P>
+<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">An application using Pthreads-w32 should
+not make assumptions about the numbers used to represent thread
+priority levels, except that they are monotonic between the values
+returned by sched_get_priority_min() and sched_get_priority_max().
+E.g. Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP make available a non-contiguous
+range of numbers between -15 and 15, while at least one version of
+WinCE (3.0) defines the minimum priority (THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST) as
+5, and the maximum priority (THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST) as 1.</P>
+<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">Internally, pthreads-win32 maps any
+priority levels between THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE and
+THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST to THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST, or between
+THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL and THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST to
+THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST. Currently, this also applies to
+REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS even if levels -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, 3, 4, 5,
+and 6 are supported.</P>
+<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">If it wishes, a Win32 application using
+pthreads-w32 can use the Win32 defined priority macros
+THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE through THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL.</P>
