Another implementation of a task library, called class process, is available
as a part of The C++ Answer Book. The code is written completely in C++ and
is portable to most machines. (Some restrictions do apply.) The code itself
is available from netlib@research.att.com. (Send a message with the contents
"send index from c++/answerbook" to that address for further information.)
