- Check out develop issue 6 and 7 -- they have the articles describing the
- threads package. You can get them off the develop cd, or in the apple ftp
- site, under dts/doc/develop. It has some sample code there as well as the
- text of the article.

- I suppose you could call it multitasking -- in the same sense that multifinder
- is multitasking. It allows several execution paths (threads) to be active at
- once in your application. It is a nice package, though I think that apple
- has stopped working on it. I've heard that something like this
- will be included in a future system, but I don't remember where I heard that...
