Larry,
well the answer is yes and no ;-) current threads are on top of one apple
thread. kind of a lightweight lightweight thread :-)
One of my goals is to change the posix thread library we use for mac
tasking (both unix and MacOS apps) to use the Apple/Daystar multiprocessor
api threads. if i can make that working it would let my multiprocessor
mac be used from ada, but would also give us full preemtive tasks (even on
a single processor) for mac os standalone apps.
