I have done co-routines using "ucontext" available on both Linux and (with
a little work) Windows. I saw an article on the CodeProject (
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/4225/Unix-ucontext_t-Operations-on-Windows-Platforms
)
which resulted in me implementing this. It works rather well.

I only implemented it like that because I had no choice though. I don't
particularly like co-routines.

Best Regards, Brian.
