 I posted this earlier but we were having site problems. If this is
redundant I am sorry. 

 I need to know about implementing threads or lightweight processes 
without modifying kernel - ie strictly user level implementations.
How is this accomplished? Some variant on setjmp/longjmp?
Can someone give me pointers into literature? Code?
