	What I really need are concurrent programming techniques in C.
	Has anyone out there designed, implemented, thought about, or
	read about doing concurrent programming in C?  Anyone ever
	implemented co-routines in C? 

Multiplexed files do what you want, but they do not supply true
co-routines because some process must be the master.  4.2bsd with
sockets and stuff can (probably) do the same thing.  

Icon, which has great stuff for co-routining (I have just been
reading the manual), is available free for a tape from
icon-request@arizona.
