- There is a 1003.4a Draft 4 compliant threads package in OSF/1. This will
- be updated as the standard progresses. Some modification towards D5 has
- been made but as D6 should be out "any day now" and will deviate
- significantly from D5 in certain areas it is unlikely that any of these
- will be supported until the draft is more stable and nearer adoption.

-
- I have also heard of a number of other threads packages being developed
- but do not know if any are available as yet.
