It is important to notice that the threaded model used in the Library of Common Code (and hence Arena, Line Mode Browser etc.) is completely platform independent. It uses one process, one stack, and one set of registers and hence it does even run under msdos/windows. It does not require POSIX threads or any other thread specification. BTW: I have now a TEST VERSION of a windows port using WinSock. It is available from http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/Library/Status.html Documentation of the threaded library can be found here as well. Comments are welcome! -- cheers -- Henrik Frystyk
