  25.  
  26.     DCE Threads is a set of routines that you can call to create a
  27.     multithreaded program.  Multithreading is used to improve the
  28.     performance of a program.  Routines implemented by DCE Threads that are
  29.     not specified by draft 4 of the POSIX 1003.4a standard are indicated by
  30.     an _np suffix on the name.  These routines are not portable.
