This section describes how you can take advantage of the Thread Manager to create threaded applications. It describes how to

• use the Gestalt Manager to determine if the Thread Manager is available and which features are supported
• create a thread pool and allocate and run threads
• turn off scheduling in critical sections of code
• create dialog boxes that leave an application free to do other work
• pass parameters between threads
• use threads with asynchronous I/O routines
