-This pthread package is/will be based on the POSIX1003.1c Draft 10 pthread
-standard, and Frank Muellers paper on signal handeling presented at the
-Winter 93 USENIX conference.
-
-It is currently being designed and written by me, Chris Provenzano.
-All bug, comments, and questions can be sent me at proven@mit.edu,
-or pthreads@mit.edu.
-
-PLEASE, don't send questions, bugs or patches to any of the *BSD*, Linux
-or GNU mailing lists.
-
-Thanks goes to Ken Raeburn for his help on the Sparc port, the configurator,
-and his many suggestions, Greg Hudson for the thread safe net routines and
-all the testing he's done.
-
-More thanks to Mark Eichin and all the others for the testing they have done.
-
-PORTING
-One of the goals of this user space implementation of pthreads is that it
-be portable. I have minimized the ammount of assembler code necessary,
-but some is.
-
-If you want to port it to another platform here are a few basic hints.
-
-You will need to create a machdep.h, machdep.c and syscall.S for the
-new architecture. The first two are necessary to get the context switch
-section of the pthread package running, the third is for all the syscalls.
-
-INCLUDE FILES AND PORTING
-In addition to the above three files you need to create a slew of .h files.
-Take a look at an existing port to determine what is in each, and then
-take a look at your system header files to determine what to put in them.
