I'm sure this is a FAQ, but I'm trying to put together a list of noncommercial
packages out there which allow experimentation with threads within a standard
UNIX process...

I'm aware of the thread package(s) from Brown University, but that's about it.
Anybody have any pointers for me?  Recommendations?  The intent would be to
implement a multithreaded lisp interpreter for experimenting with psuedo-
parallelism...  Any other thoughts or pointers on this topic might be nice,
too.  If I get sufficient interesting feedback I'll post a summary.


Thanks in advance,

JB
