-1. Pthreads
-
-(1.0) What is Pthreads?
-
-Pthreads stands for POSIX threads and is based on the POSIX 1003.1c 1995 
-thread standard. This standard passed international Standards Organization 
-(ISO) Committee Document (CD) balloting in February 1995 and got the 
-IEEE Standards Board approval in June 1995.
-
-
-(1.1) Where can I get info on Pthreads?
-
-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 standard
-won't be out until sometime in 1996). The draft costs $30.00 plus shipping 
-which for me was $4.00. The IEEE doesn't make any of the standards available 
-online. 
-
-I have made documentation for some of the functions available online.
-To reference these use http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/proven/pthreads.html

-2. Getting, Building, Installing and Using proven's Pthreads
-
-(2.0) Where can I get the latest version of proven's Pthreads?
-
-The latest version is pthreads-1_60_beta6 was release on November 16, 1996
-and is available from sipb.mit.edu:/pub/pthreads.
-
-
-(2.1) What platforms does proven's Pthreads run on?
-
-Lot's! It should run on the following platforms; the i386 processor
-running NetBSD-1.x, FreeBSD-2.x, BSDOS-2.0, Linux-1.2 and Linux-1.3; 
-the r2000 (DECstation) running Ultrix-4.2; the Sparc running NetBSD-1.x, 
-SunOS-4.1.3, Solaris-2.3, and Solaris-2.4; the alpha running OSF-2.3 and 
-OSF-3.x; the SGI running IRIX-5.2; and the HPPA running HP/UX-9.x.
-
-Because it runs on so many platforms I don't get to compile and test every 
-platform for every release. If you have a problem send mail to
-pthreads-bugs@mit.edu with the processor, OS, and version number along with
-a description of the bug.
-
-
-(2.2) What do I need to build proven's Pthreads?
-
-You will need gcc and gmake to build for all but NetBSD, FreeBSD and BSDOS.
-For those you may use either gmake or pmake (the native make).
-
-
-(2.3) How do I install proven's Pthreads?
-
-Installing pthreads is real easy. At the top level of pthreads do
-
-configure
-make
-make install
-
-It will be installed into the directory /usr/local/pthreads. If you don't 
-like the location add a --prefix=<dir> option to configure. That's it.
-
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-3. Known problems.
-
-(3.0) Tests
-
-Under SunOS-4.1.x there is a bug in the kernel that prevents test_sock_1
-from passing. This bug has to do with a process tring to connect to itself.
-In respose I wrote test_sock_2 to test the socket code for SunOS which 
-does work. You should have no problems using the socket code in SunOS
-so long as you don't write a program that need to connect to itself.
-
-
-(3.1) Installation
-
-The only know problem is on the SGI. You will need to use GNU tar instead
-of the native supplied one or edit the config.flags file and remove the -h
-option to tar. Aparently the -h option on IRIX 5.3 version of tar does the
-exact opposite of all the other versions of tar I've used and instead of
-following symbolic links and getting the file it archives the link.
-
-
-(3.2) Missing functionality
-
-The current release is missing cancelation, priority mutexes and others.
-I'm continuing to develope pthreads and I plan to put cancelation and 
-priority mutexes and as much other stuff as I can into the 1_70 release
-
-
-(3.3) Signals
-
-Currently to intermix signals with pthreads you need to rename all calls
-to signal() and sigaction() to pthread_signal() and pthread_sigaction().
-I plan to write real wrapper routines for signal() and sigaction() for
-the 1_70 release.
