There is a very rough copy of a "port" of linux threads at http://lt.tar.com . I hope to clean it up shortly, and if nothing else, submit is as a FreeBSD port. You can call the pthread_* functions in FreeBSD from userland and get 1-1 kernel threads. -- Richard Seamman, Jr. email: dick@tar.com 5182 N.
