[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Threads in AmigaOS?

tom@microsoft.UUCP (Tom McConnell) (12/22/89)

As a new employee of Microsoft, I've had to do some work using OS/2's threads.
In actuallity, the are very easy to use and nice!

I don't see any real reasons why threads couldn't be implemented under
Amiga OS.  Probably the best way would be to create a library of
Thread functions, which a user could call to create threads.

How feasable is this?  What are the obsticles?
Why wouldn't this be neat?

Talk to me.

I believe that Matt Dillon (sp?) did a job on threads already and
called them 'light weight processes'.  I haven't done anything with
them and barely know just what the heck they are so I hope someone else
will come forward with more complete information.
