Hello Everyone:

I've been searching Usenet, on the use of the clone 
system call, and have found some source that implements the call
and implements the start of a C++ threading library.

I've started playing with the library, it's cool.

Hi Doug! 

Right now the URL is:

	http://www.seercom.com/Turner/jkthreads-1.0.tar.gz

but soon as I have time I will make a web page for it available via:

	http://www.seercom.com/Turner/jdk/linux.html

My normal web space at:

	http://www.xmission.com/~seer/jdksoftware/

is real wonky now apparently because of a dead satellite.


I was thinking about a couple of minor changes, which I haven't added 
yet, but are simple to:

	1) when a thread dies, I think the proper thing to do is
           to NOT release any semaphores that the thread owned.
	   Right now, all semaphores owned by a thread get automatically
	   released when the thread dies.  This is not a major issue.

	2) Make notes that all subclasses of JKThread that you write must
           have a virtual destructor that calls ThreadKill().  This way,
           if the thread object gets deleted before the thread ends 
	   properly, the thread will be killed BEFORE the object starts
           disintigrating.

Please feel free to send this to whoever you wish.


I'd like to see an Atlanta postcard! Thank you very much!!


Best Regards

Jeff Koftinoff
