Since John has mentioned threads twice in ten messages, I'll blow my
own horn and point at the QuickThreads toolkit for building threads
pacakges. Code and documentation are available via


http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/pardo/papers.d/thread.html
ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/qt-002.tar.gz


Supported platforms include AXP, HP-PA, Intel x86, m88k, MIPS, SPARC,
VAX and (really!) KSR. (No Tera support yet, sorry, Preston !-)


For what it's worth, threads packages, such as QuickThreads, are not
generally correct in the face of compiler optimizations. See:

%T Are Safe Concurrency Libraries Possible?
%J Communications of the ACM (CACM)
