blum@drutx.ATT.COM (Mark Blumhardt) (01/06/90)

Does anyone know of any decent references (books, articles, etc.)
to the concept of threading?

May I gently suggest that you clarify *which* concept of threading it is that
interests you? There are threaded lists and other *data structure techniques*,
threaded code (a style of programming language implementation), and threads
(also called lightweight processes), which represent loci of execution within
an address space. You might also try other groups (e.g., comp.os.research for
the lightweight process version, comp.compilers (or something like that) or
comp.languages.forth for the language version, etc.).		E
