Is there a threads package for THINK C?
(preemptive or cooperative)

Or is it possible at all on the Mac?
Doesn't the Mac have a stack sniffer which
traps when the stack pointer crosses the
heap boundary?
Do you have to allocate the thread control blocks
on the stack?

If you can do preemptive threads, will you run
into problems with reentrant ROM calls?
Thanks in advance.
