Answers to frequently asked questions
                  for my implementation of POSIX threads

Question: What are pthreads?
Answer:   Pthreads stands for POSIX threads. Currently their is NO
          POSIX thread standard, just drafts. The last draft circulated
          was draft 10, in September 1994. Though, I expect that this 
          draft will be approved.

Question: Where do I get the latest draft of pthreads? 
Answer:   You can call IEEE (908) 562-3800 which is the organization 
          which POSIX belongs, and ask for POSIX 1003.1c (not 1003.4a) 
          draft 10. The draft costs $30.00 plus shipping which for me 
          was $4.00. The IEEE doesn't make any of the standards available
          online. If you just want online documentation that is available, 
          see below.

Question: Where can I get documentation?
Answer:   I haven't written man pages yet, and I only have some of the
          functions available online. You can find them under my home page.
          HTTP://www.mit.edu:8001/people/proven/home_page.html

Question: I've read somewhere that the calling arguments for the
          pthread function FOO() was BAR but your implemnentation
          is BAZ. Which is right?
Answer:   If I've implemented the function foo() then my implementation
          is probably correct according to the current draft of pthreads.
          I've tried to keep my implementation as up to date as possible.
          The discrepency you are seeing is probably because you've
          seen the OSF/DCE implementation of threads which was based
          on draft 4 of the POSIX thread standard, and there has been
          significant changes to the interfaces since then.
