I am prototyping a multi-user Btree database in Scheme.  So far I have
not been able to test the multi-processing features in scheme, but I
have figured out how to modify scm2d to add this capability.

Has anyone implemented locks, semaphores, and multi-processing in a
Scheme implementation?  If so, I would be interested in the function
names and syntax for these features.

Thanks in advance.
